Poetic Theraphy

Since birth,
 my body has been
 a battlefield,
 mined by firecrackers
 of unequal feelings...
 I treat my wounds,
 since time immemorial...
I live in a state of war,
Permanently...
I survive because I only live as
Inwardly carry my life  as I live,
even within this chaos,
 external world...
    Against This catatonic dystonia,
 heals and relieves me, poetry...
 Poetry gives me refuge
 and this peace...!
