BLoG: So Why Poetry
Why has poetry consumed me?
I truly have no idea. Why is my goal such a big deal? I have been writing for almost 1095 days that will be three years of writing that I have compiled/completed in about 20 days. But for what reason? Well it started as a form of therapy treatment for my PTSD and overall mental health. Writing seemed to be a good idea. A way to formulate my thoughts and get them outta my head.
As a pensive thinker, one can go crazy listening to yourself think about anything and everything all at once. As the survivor of a Traumatic Head Injury it has also helped me to control the constant anxiety that I suffer from. The idea of getting crushed in another car is forever looming in my subconscious and conscious mind. The details of my last accident are as vivid as if it has just happened. But writing has helped me to subdue and control those feelings and emotions.
But why poetry? If I could, recall my thoughts I seemed to remember being introduced to poetry at a very young age. The poems of Robert Frost were my 1st taste of poetry and I was somehow hooked by his vivid words. I guess you could say the rest is history. It doesn't help that I think in rhyme always looking to complete my thoughts in a rhyme fashion. Perhaps I am simply a poet at heart. Though I've come along way I still have so far to go.
It has been a long journey to find inner peace. I have suffered from my injuries for a very long time. But things have become so much clearer since I started to write my blog and chase my dreams of being a renowned poet. Not sure I have what it takes, but thats the great thing about dreams and passions. They do not judge they simply thrive if you let them.
