Writing As A Form Of Therapy

[HenryX]

Hello @StuF  

I do understand. No failure involved. When material isn't connected with where we're at, at any given time, it is difficult to absorb.

My hope is that you find some quiet and peacefulness, and soon feel a lot better.

With My Very Best Wishes

Sorry for your pain @bipolarbunny  also to myself and to everyone hurt and ignored as a child. Here is a little something to make you smile.

Hey folks, found a quirky little verse to share. I need to write more, got a lot inside that's trying to get out, so I think I might give it a red hot crack over the weekend. Hope you all have a safe and warm weekend.

Big hugs xx

Windows

My brain is still rhyming,

My words ever climbing,

Through windows & doorways I see,

I’d almost forgotten,

The wisdom begotten,

From verse manifesting in me.

I cannot stop framing,

These thoughts still remaining,

Do come with a warning or two,

Don’t slip down the hole,

It will bury your soul,

And boil you in rabbit foot stew.

But holes can be brimming,

With consummate winning,

Depending on which way you dive,

A choice for the making,

With brilliant partaking,

Will see that you actually thrive.

So trust in the vision,

Your soul has been given,

And shuffle towards better light,

A window revealing,

The future you’re stealing,

Will summon your courage & might.

And please never waver,

Be bold with your favour,

It may be a gamble of chance,

But luck rolls the dice,

Between fire and ice,

Don’t ever relinquish the dance.

My brain is still rhyming,

My words ever climbing,

I guess that I finally see,

The windows I found,

Where the doorways abound,

Are a chance to be finally free.

Hi @bipolarbunny 

It’s so lovely to hear from you 

Absolutely! Writing can be an incredibly cathartic experience and I’m so pleased that you’ve found a creative medium to support you during your healing journey 

I will definitely take some time to read some of your other poems and the poems written by other members

Thank you so much for your beautiful words and please remember that I’m here if you need me 

Take kind and gentle care of yourself,

Hi @bipolarbunny 

It’s so lovely to hear from you 

It’s such an honour to be invited into people’s lives and I’m incredibly moved that you shared such a deeply personal and painful experience with me 

After reading this part of your story, I can really appreciate why you feel ‘broken’ and my heart goes out to you 

The way in which you described some of your earliest memories was incredibly moving and I’m just so sorry that the people who were meant to love, care and protect you, hurt you in the most unimaginable ways.

This is absolutely heartbreaking 

Please know that I’m thinking of you and sending you some very gentle hugs at such a difficult time 

Take care,

ShiningStar

@ShiningStar Thank you so much my friend. Yes it is very difficult at times especially when at the moment I still have to have contact with my toxic family. I live for the day I'll finally be free of them and can go permanently no contact. xx
