This won't be a poem.. it's just a self understanding venting session ¿

I realized why I am so passionate about creative writing. Why its so important to me. For me, poetry is an outlet. Poetry is the best way I'm able to control my feelings. Every time I'm upset about something or if I'm furious about something. Or even scared. If I write, I am able to control my feelings and calm down and have peace. Every single time. It's therapeutic.

As an individual, I'm drawn to the arts. I'm drawn to all things creative and artistic. Things with deeper meanings. Words spark my soul like nothing ever before. Words in poems, songs, stories, novels, quotes, speeches, raps, anything. Words woven together in a beautiful masterpiece gives me goosebumps. And I'm able to create the masterpiece myself. And it relieves my stress and clears my mind.

This is why I say poetry is cathartic for me. Cathartic means providing psychological relief through the open expression of strong emotions. My anxiety goes away, when I let out my emotional distress through writing. Anytime I feel it building up, I start to write poetically and everything is peaceful. Everything is quiet and still. It's a blessing.
