Your words come one day at a time. Twenty-four hours a day. Perhaps you keep them in a Big Blue Book where they can stay anonymous? This was a good poem. Caught me off guard. Brought back memories. After some thought, maybe I can find a little serenity.

I want my poetry to make people cry and drink. I read the ancient poets and I hope. They know we remember them. I don't like my poetry. I see weaknesses and I know. Just write and leave them alone. I enjoyed the poem. I like the feel of accepting what is, as what is. Thank you Jacob for sharing the amazing poetry.

In alcoholic anonymous group therapy help along with other measures to become sober, writing helps to be sober from sadness, frustration, relaxes mind and goes on. Really thought-provoking writing with footing on facts and truths.

Dear J, I sense you smiled as you wrote this poem. I did. A fun write. While probably from time to time most of us would benefit from group therapy for problems encountered on our journey through life, your poetry does not need therapy :))
There are lots of hearts addicted to tears. Way of the world.

I want to live in a cartoon world, not the one we have now.
I have never been in group therapy. I have seen it portrayed on Law & Order, among other shows. Your words sum up the situation perfectly, and I imagine we would all feel the same way. Well done.

Wonderful write, therapy can be helpful if one feels the need. I find that just writing my words helps in many ways. I do love the last lines ( another heart addicted to a bottle of tears)
