My Therapy

Writing is like a therapy to those who cannot speak

Some can voice their thoughts so wonderfully

for all the world to hear

but i cannot and  i never shall,

be the centre of attention in a full room,

be the voice people look to for guidance.

But in a blog, hidden behind the protection of a screen,

behind the ability to let my words flow through written means

I can express myself, can be myself,

Can tell people what I don’t want to say out loud.

The words my voice will not say.

Sometimes when I speak I stutter and stumble,

The words come out in a jumbled, non-sensical mess

But on this page, with this keyboard,

the words flow out, without hesitation,

no need to pause, no need to stop.

I imagine this is how some feel,

sitting in that therapy room,

pouring their heart out.

For me…
