Fear of what’s out there

Forces us to stay indoors

So we can be safe

Safety in the silence here,   

Yet the world still calls to me.

COLONY
OUTPOST
RIDERS


In a colony on a sunny day,
Riders laughed and danced in a playful way.
At the outpost, beets grew big and round,
While pies flew high, landing with a sound!

“Look out, Felicity, here comes a treat!”
The riders cheered, “What a silly feat!”
In this joyful place, with smiles so true,
Every day’s a blast—just wait, you’ll see too!

Forever kisses

Are the best kisses of all

Since they never end

They warm up the heart and soul

Bringing joy and peace to you

PIPE
PEEP
PEER

In a village bright with joy and cheer,
The Pied Piper and his friend drew near.
They piped a tune that floated on air,
A melody sweet that banished all care.

With eyes wide, they’d peep at treasures untold,
Glittering gems and tales of old.
Each glance and each giggle, they’d peer through the night,
Where dreams danced and shimmered, basking in light.

Jigglypuff Artwork

I drew and colored this in 2020. Jigglypuff is my all-time favorite Pokemon. I have been told by many that I look like her when I get mad.

Drowning in the dark

Grasping for some kind of light

For my sinking heart

Waves of despair pull me down,   

Longing for the morning light

BATH
BASIN
BLOCK

The baboon desperately wanted a bath,
So he searched for a block, feeling quite daft.
He wandered through jungles, up hills, and through glades,
In hopes of a basin, where he could make waves!

A Journey of Growth

M.A.D. Works

What are you most proud of in your life?

I have many things that I am proud of in my life. I would have to say the thing that I am the most proud of is that I took the steps and got help with working to manage my anxiety. I have social anxiety, and it was controlling my life. I have learned that it is good to have some anxiety as long as it does not control your life, and that is what it was doing. I wouldn’t go out and do things I wanted or cancel plans because of it. Since I decided to get help through an amazing therapist and I am on the proper medication, things have been improving. I am proud of how far I have come and look forward to seeing how far I can go.

My Anxiety: Mr. Finster Artwork

M.A.D. Works

Let me introduce Mr. Finster, aka my anxiety. He used to play a huge role in my life, but he has recently gotten smaller than before. I have learned that it is okay to have anxiety in your life as long as it doesn’t rule your life. For many years, that is what Mr. Finster did. With therapy and the right medication, things have been improving, and I will continue to work on strategies to make sure that he does not overrun my life again and learn how to become friends with my anxiety. The drawing was a mixture of two characters, one from a book and one from a TV show. Can anyone guess who they are?
