Writing As A Form Of Therapy

[Silenus]

Cheers @eth - hugs... 🙂

i have noticed that i really enjoy writing. so i am going to keep writing my story.  and i am going to put all my poems in my book as well.

writing helps me express how my deep inner feelings are in a way that i can't express verbally.  so for me it is helping my psych as well in understnding where my thoughts are coming from.

i love writing.

So many folk forget

Spending life a-seeking yet

Thinking they can add to knowledge

Ancient, unlearned, yet to beget.

Striving to possess more

Mortgage, time and childhoods for

A bigger roof

Is it making them happy?

Where's the proof?

I like to live in the land of enuf

She owns me

I care and laugh

Not the land of more

Healing needed

Locking all doors

So true... if everyone were happy with enuf, there'd be plenty for all... 🙂

Writing this has brought up so much emotions from my abusers to my parents to me.  Sobbing as I write this i don't know where all the tears are coming from.

Today i feel a little unease

as i sit outside with the breeze

i can feel the air cold

i don't need to be told

that today i feel unease

Some days are harder than others

to get up and feel like doing

I sit with my tea while it's brewing

i really don't know what i want

some times i feel like crying

and then i feel like dying

just someone pls take away

the pain I'm in today

life is not fair i know

it rips your heart from that glow

i try so hard 

as i write on this card

nothing makes sense to me

i wish it could just be

why did you leave me

i hate what you did to me

So now I wash my tears

and just let them flow away

for one day i will know

that i will see you again

and as i sit here sobbing

i wish it was you i was throbbing

for you will never know

how much pain I've been through

You are writing so powerfully @BlueBay.  It really helps us get our feelings out.  Hang in there 🙂

Beautifully and powefully written @BlueBay

In so much of our dealings with our mental health, we come back to that hurt inner child, don't we? At least that's been my experience...

Huge hugs to you @BlueBay

[BlueBay]

Thanks guys. I seem to always go back to my inner child. Xx

Simmering in my own darkness again

or is it an anger that's valid?

A response to aggression both tangible and tantric

and sometimes silent

but never, ever passive

A cancer that grows

when we can't be expressive

Power in

Power up

But not Power over

Somedays the wrath

can even rise up

over acts of omission

definitely something missing

Forgot to make space

for another's needs

Now and then the problem

is the absence of true deeds

Could even be as small a thing as not seeing.

Forgive me I'm doing my best

but am I?

Time and time again

feeling put through some test

Why do I?

Continue to crusade

on some altruistic notions

When at home I don't make the grade

Won't trade

for the truth

It starts at home

A freak of mother nature

A work in progress

Creating myself each day

Power in

Power up

But not power over
