Mental Notes by Mrsbinlid

I started to write poetry to get me through some difficult years as a teenager and young adult. Looking back, writing helped me through a period of depression, only recognized some years later. With writing, once the words hit the paper, they lost their internal, emotional power, with thoughts and feelings no longer holding me to ransom. I've been writing ever since, every time something has stirred me emotionally, be it personal or from a bystander's view and now, hitting 40, I wanted to share it with the world in the hope that it is relatable, and shows how writing can be a useful self-help tool. Covering a range of topics written through a range of emotion there is something for everyone in this first short book, with future books focusing in more depth on some of the themes covered.
