feelings are torn,<br \/>Through daily storms inside my head,<br \/>My mind is lost, where it fears just emptiness.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I think too much, yet nothing comes\u2014<br \/>No ideas, no inspiration, just silent pictures,<br \/>An empty space, a blank stare,<br \/>A mind suspended in the thin air.<\/p>\n<p>My bed, my safety, is where I exist,<br \/>A safe place, yet a prison cell where I try rest,<br \/>Here I cry, I hurt, I feel, and dream,<br \/>In quiet moments, torn by the in-between.<\/p>\n<p>Each drawing captures my restless mind,<br \/>A ceiling stare, a view confined,<br \/>My scattered thoughts, in grids once neat,<br \/>Now break apart before the eye.<\/p>\n<p>Liminal, this space of doubt,<br \/>Where clarity is nothing but shut out,<br \/>I lose myself in this journey of thought,<br \/>Where nothing feels right, but all disrupted.<\/p>\n<p>My bed, the place where I mould my figure,<br \/>But also where I\u2019m fragile and wrong,<br \/>A tangled mess, my sheets reveal,<br \/>Are the raw emotions that I conceal.<\/p>\n<p>No answers come, no paths unfold,<br \/>In this space, I my mind has no control,<br \/>By what I do not, cannot know\u2014<br \/>This work, is my mind&#8217;s own ebb and flow.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->\t        <\/div>\n\t    \t<\/div>\n\t\t    <\/div>\n\t    <!--

Thompson<\/p> <p>From within, my art is born,<br \/>A reflection of thoughts and feelings are torn,<br \/>Through daily storms inside my head,<br \/>My mind is lost, where it fears just emptiness.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p> <p>I think too much, yet nothing comes\u2014<br \/>No ideas, no inspiration, just silent pictures,<br \/>An empty space, a blank stare,<br \/>A mind suspended in the thin air.<\/p> <p>My bed, my safety, is where I exist,<br \/>A safe place, yet a prison cell where I try rest,<br \/>Here I cry, I hurt, I feel, and dream,<br \/>In quiet moments, torn by the in-between.<\/p> <p>Each drawing captures my restless mind,<br \/>A ceiling stare, a view confined,<br \/>My scattered thoughts, in grids once neat,<br \/>Now break apart before the eye.<\/p> <p>Liminal, this space of doubt,<br \/>Where clarity is nothing but shut out,<br \/>I lose myself in this journey of thought,<br \/>Where nothing feels right, but all disrupted.<\/p> <p>My bed, the place where I mould my figure,<br \/>But also where I\u2019m fragile and wrong,<br \/>A tangled mess, my sheets reveal,<br \/>Are the raw emotions that I conceal.<\/p> <p>No answers come, no paths unfold,<br \/>In this space, I my mind has no control,<br \/>By what I do not, cannot know\u2014<br \/>This work, is my mind's own ebb and flow.<\/p> <p>\u00a0<\/p>\n[gallery
