Writer's Whispers

Therapy

Sometimes the best therapy is just a pen and paper...

Or a good pillow to cry on...

Or a hard wall to break your knuckles against...

Or a pet to talk to - trust me, that goldfish is a good listener, even though you can't see its ears... And your dog, it totally understands you that's why it's quiet when you vent.

And you know that lizard crawling up the brick walls outside, it's dying for a conversation with you... Go say hi... And tell it how you feel - you'll feel better, trust me.

And when all of that fails

You can always look for a poem

That expressed how you feel...

And you'll feel better

That I know for sure

Because poetry is more than just words.

It's numerous voices

Expressing what many can't express -

Or are too afraid to express.

Whatever you're feeling...

Its been inked on some form of paper

Now go find it

And idolize it for a couple of hours

Till the feelings subside

Because sometimes

The best therapy

Is poetry.
