Writing for therapy

Based off my username. Written in a medication induced mood.

Writing for therapy 

Though no amount of ink

Can change how I think 

The pen is mightier than the sword

So I then impale myself with words

Of what happened to me in this world 

Falling on everything I write

Like a knife

Each word cuts

Every sentence stabs 

The stack of paper hacks

At my very existence

Writing for therapy 

May be considered healthy

If only it felt like it

Sometimes, there are so many words to describe our experiences, our pain or joy, that seeing everything etched on paper makes the writer feel... Overwhelmed. Words can often evade or invade; writing in itself can prove to be the opposite of therapeutic. It's occasionally (or always) an outlet that allows us to express the depths of our souls and emotions, things that are difficult to be said outloud. By your diction and style of writing, I can tell that you've probably had quite the experience with life. Writing can help find your inner self, an inner voice that speaks beyond despair. I don't want to say stop writing, as I feel it's more of a battle with the mind than writing in itself. It's not an easy battle, but anyone and everyone can overcome. I wish you well in the future! Nice writing!
