Caren Krutsinger Poet Dramatic Monologue

Poetry Is My Therapy

Poetry feels good to me because it is honest and true
It can land on a plate with a plop, expecting nothing from an eater
Sometimes left alone for days and that is okay

Poetry is my therapy; it is the way I can cope with things that hurt,
disturb, perturb and make me angry or sad.
I look forward to it on a daily basis. Every day, it is different.

Writing means I can be myself, say what I want, expose my feelings.
No one will be rolling their eyes or pointing fingers at me
I am inspired by pens, coffee, oranges, walls, cats, dinosaurs, faeries and daisies.

I share my poetry with other poets. If they like it, great.
If they do not it does not matter
For poetry is my therapy.

I write for myself
To sooth my feelings
And live my truth.
