The Ultimate Therapy

September 8, 2017 by szachik@pvs.org 3 Comments

By Charles Schnell

 

When you write down

Your thoughts and your feelings,

Truthfully,

You materialize it.

Your thoughts and feelings

Are a physical substance,

Made by ink on paper.

Your brain recognizes them

As real, and

Not all in your head.

That’s why

Writing

Is the ultimate form of

Therapy.

No one controls your

Thoughts and feelings

But you in your writings,

Just like how

I am writing this poem

And sharing my thoughts and feelings with you

Now.

    Being open
    Truthfully
    What artists have sought
    For thousands upon thousands of years
    Giving shape and form
    Truthfully

    Grappling at the

    Now

    “Only I control my thoughts and my feelings.
    Only I control my Life!”

    ….and yet you are never alone!
    there is always someone who loves you…..
