And sometimes I write poetry . . .

CATHARSIS
Why?
I told myself no;
I grounded my heart
Or so I thought.
Am I meant to be alone?
I pray not.
Where is the catharsis?
Where is the joy I felt prior?
I feel
Let down.
Not enough hours in the day
To express my sorrow.
My joy has left me;
Now I am bereft,
Grieving for that which I never had.
Must be strong.
Must be strong.
Air fills my lungs,
I am breathing again;
But the pain lingers,
It has not yet faded away-
Let me down gently.
