This thread has been labeled as triggering, particularly on the subject of self harm, by the original poster or by a Moderator. The contents of this thread might therefore not be suitable for certain sensitive users. Please take this into consideration before continuing to read.
I'll use this thread to post art I make - not all my art but particularly the art I make to express my feelings and emotions...unlike my poetry I'm putting it all in one thread so I don't clog the category.
Fair warning, a lot of these artworks are dark. they will be triggered accordingly if needed in large bold red text, but the images are very large so scroll slowly so you don't accidentally see something you don't want to see.
this first drawing is messy but I don't believe it needs any trigger warnings.
I made this piece to process some newfound feelings of unrequited love, jealousy, and false romantic hope. This is very hard for me and I expect it will only get harder...I needed to make this drawing pretty fast to let out these feelings. I used some new markers I got and theyre very nice. They will be even more fun to use when I'm not rushing.

TRIGGER WARNING: Animal injury - blood - bandages - eye injury 
This piece is based on the song Pigeon And The Dove by Matt Van and depicts me and my struggles with unrequited love and fantasising about things I can never have.

Hello, it's based off a song called Pigeon And The Dove. The lyrics go like, "can't you see, little one? you're a pigeon, she's a dove' and other similar lines - doves are often seen as graceful symbols of peace whereas street pigeons are typically hated, implying that the singer is lesser than or not good enough for their 'dove'. In this drawing, I am letting the dove go, because it represents things and people I cannot have. Hope this clarification helps.
