Poetry is my word therapy
It is where I take the overwhelming abstractness of my emotions
And mold it into something comprehensible
Taking the feelings inside
And creating a scaffolding made of words on which to hang
Stanzas containing descriptions, analogies, and written visualizations
I am able to take what is chaotic and undefined
And give it structure and meaning
Like a potter transforms a formless lump of clay
Into a beautiful piece of finished pottery
A manipulation born of skill, practice, and talent
Which creates a piece that describes, conveys, and evokes
The essence of the soul on fire
