Original Art Piece

Original watercolor artwork "Am I really healing?" 2023 by Ala Ilescu Watercolor on 140 lb paper 11" x 15".Vertical position. Signed. This is the original painting from the art/ poetry book that I published in 2023 "My sad is sadder than yours" Here is the poem featured with this painting:
did I really escape
when your malevolence still haunts me every night in my sleep?

am I really moving on
when horror has made itself at home in my dreams?

did I really survive
when I'm stuck in the past like an insect in a sticky trap?

am I really healing
when every flashback reveals another knife stabbed in my back?

did I really work it through
when my memories still pulse like an open flesh wound?

am I really being strong
when my skin is so thin I am almost see-through?
