Writing Therapy

/
 

Just words on a page,
Or something more?

The page listens and absorbs
Without judgement.
The page can be discarded,
Shared and reread.

The act of writing heals:
It pulls the demons out,
Exposes them to the light,
And reveals them for what they are.

Fabrications.
Ruminations.
Improbabilities.
Regrets.

The act of writing instructs:
It informs our current state.
Shows our inner workings.
And forces us to be precise.

After writing comes the review.
By looking back we see the truth:
Of how far we’ve come.
Of our varied and ever-changing moods.
And of the different aspects of ourselves.

We see that we are more
Complex than we can possibly comprehend.

So write.

Write without judgement.
Without pause for grammar or spelling.
Without thought for what is appropriate.
Without care for its readability.
Without concern for judgement of others.

It is the act of writing that counts,
Not the quality of work that you produce.

No one has to see it.
So just write.
