GUTSTRING SHOWCASE - James Mellor

I don’t make anything when I’m okay.

That version of me is quiet.

Useless.

Nothing to say.

Nothing to fix.

So I wait for something to go wrong again.

And it always does.

And there’s a moment—

before it becomes overwhelming—

where it’s almost perfect.

Sharp. Clear. Alive.

That’s when I take it.

Turn it into something.

Call it art.

Call it honesty.

Call it healing

so no one asks why I keep returning to it.

Because if this stops,

I don’t know what replaces it.

And I’m not sure

I want to find out.
