Artist: Aasritha Ganta, Psychiatry PGY5 Resident
Category: Written Word
I have found that poetry comes the closest to expressing most accurately what feelings and thoughts I'm experiencing. I can find it difficult to express my thoughts verbally whereas there is so much more time and effortful thought put into crafting written expression. I find it fascinating what I see in the words and how I hear others experience and interpret them. For now, I will say that they are all very personal poems in written in self-response to my life. For Starfire, the only thing I will add for some context is that my name translates to one who has shelter or one with shelter or one who gives shelter. (Aasritha is Indian in origin, the translation is from Sanskrit) Thank you for reading!
