Healing
Found myself in a sea of emotions,
Didn't know which one to pick on,
Rejection, haterade, anger and depression clouded my days,
Death seemed like the only option,
I rememeber reaching for that bottle of pills,
Perharps this was the best solution,
My maker should be pleased I go to him early,
But then my hand tripped on a pen,
I remember splashing my emotions on every page,
Filling each to the brim,
How good that felt,
Rising from the ashes after darkness burned me down to nought,
Poetry gave me back my life,
poetry healed me,
I smile daily because I don't keep my emotions hidden,
I have a pen and paper where I smear every bit of them,
A place where I vent.
