The Light of the Star

• Artist Statement

  I wanted to create a poem that can be interpreted in different ways based on the audiences experience. I was able to communicate multiple ideas by using personification, imagery, and metaphors as a way to describe my personal experiences. There is also a transformation in emotions which is a descriptive approach I decided to take. This is one of the poems that can have different meanings yet still get a hit of sadness and happiness. The signiifricat impact this poem has on me is highly dependent on my stuggle of communicating my emotions. Dealing with mental health is a challenge but it gave a gift in writing poetry that many people can relate to and become inspired!
