Therapy

I love to write. I write in a journal. I write stories. I write poetry. I write song lyrics. I love to write letters and cards and notes. I love to hand-write things as well as writing with a keyboard. Basically, writing is like therapy for me.

I've always loved to write. . . since I was really little. In high school, I was fortunate enough to meet someone who helped build my confidence enough to share my writing. I applied to be a part of the literary magazine and was accepted and then served as an editor the next year. I was also part of the literary magazine at SUU. I also was fortunate enough to publish a book of poetry. But life gets busy and writing started to become something that I only did when I was camping or had extra time (which was never). But about 5 years ago, I found someone who again pushed me to start writing again. And I cannot express my love for writing... I will never stop again. It helps me SO much!

I found this poem online today and it pushed every single "love for writing" button I have in my heart, soul and mind. I plan to write for the remainder of the evening. I hope you enjoy this poem as much as I did. (I am not sure who the author is.)



i don't like

the memories
because the tears
come easily;
and once again i break
my promise
to myself for this day.

                                    it's a constant battle.

a war between
remembering          and forgetting.
