I Owe It All To Poetry

for two years i expressed misery in poetry
who knew why and what had ate at me
my depression deep rooted in mystery 
changing who i was most apparently 
then repressed memories started showing me 
mist which hid my history lifted for clarity

because i wrote my feelings down
my head cleared up and knots were not 
it was the hope behind the cloud 
I said with fear I'd lost the plot 

poetry kept me sane
released the pain
cleared up the brain
poetry made me again
