In that moment, it sparked my interpretation of a deeper story. The wine bottles symbolize an alcoholic father who tried to destroy his daughter’s passion for ballet, haunted by the tragedy of losing his wife, her mother, during a performance. The bruises, ripped dresses and cracked shoes reflect his attempts to break her but she refuses to surrender. Balancing en pointe atop a fragile bottle, she embodies resilience. One wrong move could shatter everything yet she chooses confidence and elegance. In the end the music box awakens her mother’s memory and she dances a pas de deux with her spirit, transforming pain into beauty. Like Odette she rises graceful, defiant and unbroken.

The piece takes the reader through raw, visceral imagery of control, desire, and destruction, unravelling the inner conflict of a soul that both yearns for affection and recoils from its own reflection. With haunting metaphors and stark vulnerability, the poem explores what it means to feel monstrous in one’s own skin whilst still pleading—quietly and shamefully for love. https://mindmattersmag.com/artliterature/3d5ydcqk2yra3udmue267qy5eiyydl monthly 0.5 2025-09-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6524d9983d59045a9a19d62c/8273ce61-5a65-437f-b715-9c3a12962e97/memories.jpeg ART & LITERATURE - Untitled - Kaylee wrote this poem about letting go of people who were not made for you. https://mindmattersmag.com/artliterature/5bkt1d9frmr6gwywo3p3f86a4ofx5f monthly 0.5 2025-09-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6524d9983d59045a9a19d62c/5246bc16-c3d8-49ad-8da4-612b525949b6/one.jpeg ART & LITERATURE - One in a Million, He Was '“One In A Million, He Was” is a soulful narrative of fleeting encounters with a videographer whose artistry sparks admiration and introspection.

By intentionally dehumanizing themselves as a sheep, Quinn defies gender and expectation by transforming the virginal and oft-victimised symbol of the (presumable female) lamb into a masculine ram, reclaiming their victimhood as tools for defense. https://mindmattersmag.com/artliterature/uishov3ml3s2u9bqv7ycehiavviplk monthly 0.5 2025-09-13 https://mindmattersmag.com/artliterature/7uf4ajy81dcropgexlgm53en4x2opu monthly 0.5 2025-09-13 https://mindmattersmag.com/artliterature/p2b17bszoeob3rv1mrdqlqwnig5fbk monthly 0.5 2025-09-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6524d9983d59045a9a19d62c/5f508f9b-c24b-4381-ae63-8c981a76970e/fire.jpeg ART & LITERATURE - The Boy Who Breathed Fire Author’s Note: Written to be enjoyed by adults and children, this story speaks about generational trauma and how, even in well-meaning ways, we can pass on our traumas to the innocents around us, the people we care about most. Written in a fantasy world, the story is engaging for children due to its emotional and fantastical theme and setting, and it is reminiscent of the old folk tales that their adults grew up reading as children. This hope is to unite them in understanding how love and courage can start to heal those generational wounds. https://mindmattersmag.com/artliterature/myamur8hwzkvo8az4zulp5922hh5ll monthly 0.5 2025-09-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6524d9983d59045a9a19d62c/1757731112960-FLWK2QMMHUIKKJFHRAMR/comedy.jpeg ART & LITERATURE - Comedy Club with Austin Knight “Oh My God!” is my favorite expression primarily because if you remove any of the three words, it has the exact same meaning, just in a very different and somewhat austere tone. https://mindmattersmag.com/artliterature/i6hp2vncvxuiv2yikgra5tea6gv51v monthly 0.5 2025-09-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6524d9983d59045a9a19d62c/a3f53c64-7093-4456-9bc4-eadb2b09fe00/passion.jpeg ART & LITERATURE - For I am a Flower - “For I am a Flower” is about feeling stuck, in your own life and not feeling like you live it, but instead how you just exist, feel hopeless and compare yourself because of the fact that you're stuck while everyone else excels, leaving you behind. https://mindmattersmag.com/artliterature/ux2uief8qyndxgji2am6uiznp4fk5g monthly 0.5 2025-09-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6524d9983d59045a9a19d62c/791ad473-e0b1-4db4-9fe6-75cdddf88179/death.jpeg ART & LITERATURE - Poem #11 This piece was specifically about the allure of death when you’re in unbearable pain.

The poem honors the pain of loss while also exploring how that pain can be alchemized into resilience, love, and spiritual grounding.

Much like an uprooted plant, traces of its existence remain. Love leaves behind its evidence too in our baggage, our demeanor, and the way we love those who come after our exes. This piece reflects on the empty space left behind when one root is pulled up, and the moment before we replant it with something new. https://mindmattersmag.com/artliterature/bevdvfuitjbthe9vqv4apke4bxyaep monthly 0.5 2025-08-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6524d9983d59045a9a19d62c/3cc5e401-5049-4b4f-83e6-e579c5dfe4c0/Phantom.jpeg ART & LITERATURE - Haunt I try to block out thoughts of you That haunt me like a ghost They sit right outside of view Until they can hurt me most Maybe that's why this process Feels so full of spite Maybe I just obsess Maybe I need something to fight Both easier and impossible To fight your phantom Though I am able It takes all my sanity and some https://mindmattersmag.com/artliterature/8dngf0jmp6cn19w2eter0ord0d69df monthly 0.5 2025-08-24 https://mindmattersmag.com/artliterature/inqngousr3142hpcjqe7qoygabud9w monthly 0.5 2025-08-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6524d9983d59045a9a19d62c/ab1321d5-dbb8-47d6-a49e-4b55765b6c62/0b8034e8-141d-4614-ac79-4800899c4576.png ART & LITERATURE - The Silence is Deafening “Knowing what is right Is their right” Gloria Manthos https://mindmattersmag.com/artliterature/zftt4zq90q1wefi6eh03jd2vk0bkr8 monthly 0.5 2025-08-23 https://mindmattersmag.com/artliterature/v0vtyawu9khk1v6ge4a48r80uxuxm1 monthly 0.5 2025-08-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6524d9983d59045a9a19d62c/48345518-83f7-43b2-aee2-22ac326739e7/Almond.jpeg ART & LITERATURE - Almond Milk The spring of your youth, Never to see summer.

Sometimes, I question myself, “Why do I live?” And I seek the answer, trying to hear, the smallest voice trying, to give me hope, I try, try and try, just to fail - Lost All the negative thoughs, forming like ominous, Black clouds, inside my mind, Eating me up, draining me, Leaving me alone for eternity.

We’ve already grown so much since I’ve joined YTP. We’re getting so much great feedback on the photo exhibits and the media and storytelling component of our work. I think we’re going to start doing more in that lane and get involved in institutions like museums and galleries. The goal is to bring mental health to this arts and media scene. I’d also love to grow our team and have different roles for programming and have a greater capacity. We are a tiny organization. We have two full-time people, a couple part-time people and hundreds of volunteers. In order for us to be as accessible as I’d like, we need to grow the organization as well. https://mindmattersmag.com/artliterature/p04fpc79hmz0n2ue5ut7cpngu27fgv monthly 0.5 2025-06-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6524d9983d59045a9a19d62c/e6835fc9-c42d-4780-9060-5ac6bb62d44b/Screenshot+2025-06-05+at+11.31.41%E2%80%AFPM.png ART & LITERATURE - Sickening Game - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://mindmattersmag.com/artliterature/8r01rassfe14lm25s1603ko8g9bu8f monthly 0.5 2025-08-01 https://mindmattersmag.com/artliterature/171dt6ewywen8014medww1mgx31dlc monthly 0.5 2025-06-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6524d9983d59045a9a19d62c/65d80e27-0814-446e-ac7c-9c9d79b1c3ef/26.jpg ART & LITERATURE - Growing Up - Make it stand out View poem in magazine. https://mindmattersmag.com/artliterature/cmknmdoo5a6mtmbbxelz7z2rnng01k monthly 0.5 2025-06-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6524d9983d59045a9a19d62c/0462e180-989e-4157-9fcc-b90567170590/Screenshot+2025-06-05+at+11.03.32%E2%80%AFPM.png ART & LITERATURE - Reflection - Make it stand out My work shows a fragmented self-reflection of when teens are afflicted with the aspect of their own identity.
