Symphony of the soul
Ink flows like tears, a cathartic stream
As emotions swirl, a maelstrom's dream
Poetry's solace, a refuge I've found
Where heart and mind entwine, a healing ground
Through verse, I've learned to navigate pain
To confront the demons that would remain
Unspoken words, a weight that's hard to bear
But on the page, they lose their sting and care
With every line, a burden's lifted high
As emotions clarify, and tears dry
The fog of feelings, once a jumbled mess
Now yields to insight, and a clearer dress
In this creative dance, I've found my voice
A means to process life's turbulent choice
To make sense of the chaos that I've known
And find a sense of peace, a heart that's made whole
Through poetry's lens, I've gained a new sight
A deeper understanding of life's plight
The ebb and flow of emotions, now a tide
I ride with ease, no longer a helpless guide
With each new poem, a piece of me takes flight
A fragment of soul, now free from endless fight
The weight of thoughts, a burden I've laid down
As words flow forth, a sense of calm is found
In this creative space, I've discovered me
A reflection of emotions, set free to be
No longer trapped, but flowing like a stream
A symphony of soul, a heart that's serene
The seizures, fewer now, the stress subsides
As poetry's balm, my heart and mind abides
A healthier me, a soul that's more at peace
A life that's richer, with each poetic release
Through poetry's power, I've found my inner strength
A resilience that's grown, a heart that's length
A deeper empathy, a compassion that's wide
A soul that's more awake, a heart that's alive
In this poetic journey, I've found my way
A path that's winding, but leads to a brighter day
Where emotions flow, and words set me free
A soul's symphony, a heart that's full and me.
