Re: Writing As A Form Of Therapy
Clouds are brewing
They will be here soon
You'll be fine
You've been through worse
It's not that bad
All echoes in my head
But a never ending struggle
Becomes harder with every tear
People add to my storm
Because they can't handle theirs
My shoulder is heavy
From the weight of their tears
They walk away lighter
While I sink into the sand
My shell looks strong and shiny
But like a turtle
The cracks form on the inside
No one knows until it's too late
Everyone ignores my crys for help
So I don't cry anymore
I hold it in
I STRUGGLE ALONE

Re: Writing As A Form Of Therapy
A child huddled under the bed
Fearing the world they are in
One trauma after another
The cycle starts to set in
As they grow the trauma becomes apart of them
Now a parent themselves unable to break the mold
Their child suffers just like they did
Growing up in the same cycle trauma controls their life
The same thing then happens to their children
And their children's children
Eventually that is all that makes up their family
Suddenly one of them trys to break free
They want their children to be happy
So they do everything in their power to block the trauma out
But everyone is against her
She is determined to be strong
But her strength won't last forever
And her new foundation is cracking beneath her

Re: Writing As A Form Of Therapy
Time travel
my thoughts run easily
through my tormented brain
wann ist heute, wer bin ich,
wo bin ich und where is my train
eins, zwei, drei, vier, fuenf rote Objekte
a car, a bin lid, a flower, a T-shirt, a jacket
confusion spreads throughtout my memories
is today 1980, 2002, 2018 or 2013?
wo lebe ich, what country is my home,
ich bin ganz verwirrt, I've lost my own.
my head is pounding,
let's try some grounding
inhale for four, hold for four,
exhale for four, hold for four,
continue to your brain says hold
or try dipping your head in water so cold
Ich bin verwirrt, ich weiss nicht mehr,
I want to get out of this life of mine
And I will, when I know the time

Re: Writing As A Form Of Therapy
Whisked away... to another answer... for an old question... only to find... the world is in total disagreement... but alas i pity them... and hope they'll come around...
Meanwhile... laughing to myself... about the grandiose glory... of the answer... to my old question...
Tucked up in bed... in my jeans and op shop top...
Preparing my defenses... for the next attack... when it comes... i do not know...
Until then... I'll put myself into a state of therapy... as i watch the midday movie...
The journey to the dark night... has begun... slowly but surely... the light will fade...
I must close my eyes... and pretend i know nothing... for a little while...

Re: Writing As A Form Of Therapy
A little girl, disgusting, ugly
unloved and unwanted
A little girl, betrayed, dirty
abused and discarded
I know, whispers the little girl
I stuff her in my heart
I stop listening to my screams
