Catharsis
CATHARSIS
As a child being deprived of Mom’s care and affection
so tough was to get relief from continuous suffering.
Tried to cleanse mind coiled in deep depression.
Wrote grievances on diary.
Tears cascaded in abundance.
Swam and sank in poem and song
long driven attempt to release emotive urge.
Sought for solace seeking shelter
to prevent hit and bite of stormy winter wind.
So many complications, complexities sprouted
in journey of life!
Self-belief being a great relief is a means of catharsis for me.
Struggling, fighting suppressing persisting pain.
To release emotive urge yearned for a genuine partner.
How to melt my tortuous tangled tension!
Hankered for a sturdy shoulder of a strong persona
to lean and weep.
