Poem of the Week: Talkin' It Out...

Everyone has challenges to go through,

But no one has to do it alone.

It's important to have people to talk to,

Even if we are strong on our own.

The mind takes time to think things over,

The heart feel everything deeply.

Using the throat brings much exposure,

Merging the heart-mind completely.

Holding onto silence can be isolating,

When people who care are near.

Sometimes bad feelings are waiting,

For isolation to amplify fear.

Open up to someone who cares,

Letting them in for support.

Healing comes to the one who shares,

Making the journey of pain very short.

Speak, talk, vent, or cry,

Just let out what is inside.

Life is short before we die,

Might as well enjoy the ride!
