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. 05/31/17

This is the best kind of Acrostic because it doesn't feel like one!

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.
