Everyone has their own form a therapy, some people exercise, some love to journal, other love to listen to forms of music. Me I turn to poetry, Poetry is clear, to the point and allows the writer to reach down in his or her life and really think about what they are all about. Don’t get me wrong sometimes you feel at your worst but it has a cleansing feeling when you can put those feelings down on paper and later on take a look at where you were at that point of your life and perhaps get some answers to start moving forward.
I am going to share a few of my pieces with you and if any of you can relate or get something out of them that is fantastic, or if they seem like good poetry pieces that’s fine too. I am not sharing them for recognition I am sharing them because they were are part of me and to a degree it is a bit of therapy on top of that.
Humbling journey
No way out journey long with loss
where to turn confusion reigns again
why has it happened again
just when my light shined at it’s brightest
once again starts my humbling journey
Mind felt clear seemed at ease
heart started to heal once again
life suddenly turned on me
mind was clouded strength was none
frustrated derailed on my humbling journey
Why can’t I keep the course
just be myself feel good about me
believing my maker chose this rocky journey
when will my humbling journey end
Give me strength lord to push my way by
to believe in myself and of course you
keep me fighting to the end
happiness as my reward
peace as my creed
Journey over
One more….
Inside Me
Warm heart yet so unsure
just wanting love
yet no direction
Inside me
People thinking they have you pegged
picking away at all your boundaries
yet so clueless not understanding you
inside me
Uncertainty wanting to rear it’s head
trying to eat away at your core
trying to protect what inside those walls
Help me make it better for me
allow all my happiness to roam free
always let me be the holder of the key
to make my life better
to become a better me
to channel good thoughts
Inside me
OK well this is my therapy and maybe they sound like prayers and in some ways maybe they are but in this world we have so many trials and tribulations that we encounter so take this advice. If words are you way of coping write to your heart content.
Pleasant days…..
