‘A matter of perspective’ by Anna Anna’s poems reflect past experiences, memories, sadness, or any emotions Anna may be feeling at the time. “My music and my writing helps me express myself in times that I struggle with it all. Writing for me is enjoyable and relaxes me so I can focus and get these thoughts out of my head and onto paper.” As well as writing poetry, Anna is also an accomplished pianist, recently playing the opening and closing piano numbers at an Adelaide Symphony Orchestra special event. Anna finds both art forms help her get through her darkest days. “I find that I can sometimes express myself better with my music and my poetry on paper.”

Am I passionate or obsessive? Well, that’s a matter of perspective. You can make a quick decision. But, your optimism is subjective. Am I eccentric or insane? Demented or deranged?

I won’t argue with the claim, That I’m particularly strange. You see, that what we perceive, It shapes the way that we believe; Things really aren’t always what they see. Sometimes, I’m like a raging river, Going full pelt ahead without stopping, But in other times, I’m like a quiet stream, Is what we see in the world really reality, Or is it just a vibrant dream we dare not wake from.
