The Therapeutic Power Of Poetry
My experience of a living power
that poetry brings to a wounded soul
having faced much stress and anxiety
due to my stammer which left a gaping hole
When I was encouraged to write poetry
some 20 years ago it brought release
especially letting out my emotions within
my inward thoughts found real peace
This was great therapy for me
at least finding a wat to speak
to explain my inner feelings at last
so that one's life is not at all bleak
Poetry is a great outlet that's for sure
to write with freedom via your pen
opening up one's mind to words
joining letters in a way that's future
Therapy is a power that's active
learn well what it can bring
poetically stirring raising you up
awaken one towards a certain zing
