Cut Deep

I rip my skin away,
searching for something new underneath.

I’m tired.
Exhausted.
Weak.

My soul — cracked,
bruised,
and beat.

The game has no end,
and I can no longer compete.

My fingers are bloody
from holding on so tightly
to this cliff that has no peak.

I close my eyes
and rest a while —
every inch of me
is broken.

These fingers
cannot hold much longer.
This soul
has had all it can take.

The world has lost its color —
all that remains
are drops of red.

Kelcie Saunders

I’m a designer, artist, and seeker who believes in the poetry of everyday life. I build brands and websites rooted in intention and elegance — that’s my Worthy Creative side. But beyond business, there’s Her Wild Whispers — my personal sanctuary where I paint, write, and share the soft, soulful fragments of my journey.

For years, I lived in the tension between doing and being. I pushed until I broke, then learned how to listen. Now, I create from a place of gentleness. Here, you’ll find my original art, intimate musings, and digital offerings that invite you to slow down and lean into what’s real.

When I’m not designing or writing, I wander in nature, paint small still lives, read, and ask quiet questions of the world. I’m so glad you’re here — welcome into this evolving space of becoming.
