The Pen Therapist

How writing helps me over come my depression....

Oh what joy it is to find
A safety valve in my mind
To escape from pressures brought
Runaway imaginative thought
The fear and blackness near

Let the pen free your soul
Step away from the dark toll
Crash upon the page so white
Let it rage with all its might
Helps understand the pain

It is art of consciousness kind
Helps the stress unwind unwind
When your are in Satan's place
You must turn about face
And seek the therapy of the pen

In the review of Tate Morgan's poem, oh christ I forgot what it was called, I said "Most of us on this site are working out issues through writing" Tate writes these beautiful stories in Paget's measure with music and photos and jeez WAY to classy for this site. What in the hell am I talking about? Oh yeah "The pen Therapist" F*****g awesome poem bro.

I only started writing 2months ago to help me with a dark depression I had frankly brought on myself. However writing brought me back from the brink. I was wrongly thinking about checking out from this hotel so to speak. Anyway writing has help me through and hopefully out the other side and am certain I will never give it up now.

I think many writers use their writing as therapy. I know without my writing I wouldn't have been able to endure much of the physical pain this body of mine has experienced. A very apt title!

A different perspective to this write... again the rhyme scheme... a bit of a military notion with this line:

You must turn about face...

But the subject matter presents itself... better to write it down at times.. then to keep the words in and be in turmoil...

I like the idea of the poem and love the title. Take Care! Stay Strong! :)

[BlackRose]

Great poem. And is true as one said is one you can extend on if you want in the future. but is still great as it is. It reminds me of two poems that I wrote.

[paul barton]

So true......writing has helped me through my troubles.

A good poem that i think you could extend on. Something you could come back to when your having a day off from your book perhaps.
