Fear to Clarity of Loss
Julia B.

I wrote this poem by taking parts of how I’d been feeling during a breakup of a long term relationship. During the relationship, I was petrified of us breaking up. I was infatuated with the person I was in a relationship with, which caused me heaps of stress and anxiety. I felt as if I could not express myself fully, which led me to realise that our breaking up was for the better (although it was scary at the time). Even after this realization, I still experienced a time of depression following it and I wanted to touch on the emptiness I felt. Our relationship was at first very loving and caring in the beginning, so I mourned that. However towards the final months of our relationship he appeared to stop caring as much, which was what led to the fading of our spark (and ultimately to us breaking up).

Creativity to me is a sense of expression. It is a vessel that I put my emotions and sense of being into. Specifically, poetry is a way which helps me understand my own feelings or a way of trying to understand the world.
