There must be some balance
Between
Recognizing negative feelings
And
Refusing to honor them

Repression
Made me sick, and I
Wish not to repeat...

But I fear
The weight
Of my negative emotions....

By adding art

To my writings

I bear witness to my own

Tremendous sadness...

But I don't live out that sandess

In my day to day

How do I manifest

My joy and blessings?
