To heal emotional pain, first, you have to acknowledge that you are experiencing it. Unconsciously, we tend how to keep our emotions at bay so we can go through our daily lives with some kind of balance. You have to acknowledge the fact that you face issues every day, and that by the time you get to relax and unwind you often feel the urge to release your pent up emotions. That’s why I write. Writing poetry allows me to access my feelings. It lets me open up to emotions that I did not know I am feeling.

Without a doubt, writing can be one of the most powerful and cathartic forms of therapy there is, and all you need is a pen and paper. I would encourage you to write about anything, don’t worry about grammar, spelling or style, you can fix that later if you want. Just don’t stop writing once you get it going. It’s just like writing in a journal or a diary. You don’t have to be a poet to write. Your aim in doing this is not to showcase your literary skills. Your aim is to put difficult emotions and memories, which has not been spoken aloud, into words. Poetry writing is particularly beneficial for those who tend to keep their feelings internalized. For people like this, writing can prove to be nothing short of an emotional lifeline.
