Within the Flowers
I lock my door and turn off my lights, dirty tears run down my face as I smear mascara with my shaky hands. I sit alone, numb, thinking why couldn’t it be me. I whisper to her looking for a response, “Mom, I miss you, I love you, you didn’t deserve this…You were my world. I’m so sorry I was mean to you before you left us, I didn’t mean it;” there was no response. I spoke to her every day for months, I wondered why she hasn’t replied, does she not love and miss me back?

I Am Not the Next Diagnosis Victim
I self-suffocate. My soul is baited and trapped, seized inside a stranger's body. I sprawl in bed as darkness creeps around me, squirming and chafing through my heavy cold sheets, clenching for freedom. The self-suffocation shoots a bullet through my thoughts, lodged in my brain for a lifetime. I blame these moments on my frame of mind, trying to desperately climb back up a dark spiraling abyss of depression that has lasted five heart ripping years.

More than Pretty Pictures
Art Therapy is a therapy that is used in way to express one’s self in a creative way to improve their overall well being, physically and mentally. Art Therapy is “to explore with the patient the things that are preventing them from advancing in his or her life” (qtd. in Art Therapy Credentials Board). Though many Art Therapy Interventions are often mixed with other modalities, studies from the Journal of the American Art Therapy Association show that isolated Art Therapy sessions are beneficial for change and growth in both children and adults; art is more than just making pretty pictures.
