Joanna Daniel Poet Acrostic

Catharsis

C rying my heart out 
A t night, watched only by God,
T ears flow at their own pace,
H ardly controlled by me;
A wake I lie, my mind working,
R apid thoughts come and go,
S ilence slowly silences my sadness.
I magination mingles with heartfelt words.
S erene, I write, each line a cathartic revelation.

Chris Green May 31, 2017 at 7:13 AM A beautiful acrostic Jo, though a bit sad. The ending does offer some hope and you are correct...writing does help, a little. Placing our pains on the page does lighten the burden some. Here's hoping that you never stop writing but you cease crying very soon.
