I do know the answer to that To hide from my fear To push it back down deep Till the next time it returns to attack… In the mirror there is nothing to see Nothing more than a much darker me Too many mirrors in this living place Of me a mirror does not show any grace… This poetry it seems Is just me speaking to me For walking & talking to the self Can only get me in a rubber room So write then of my fears I must Till the darkness & fear gets past again, or just…

I agree with Jerry. By letting out your emotions, your overcoming your fears. This overwhelming desire to write comes from our need to express ourselves, and yours is purely psychological, a release of many things that bother you, mostly from your past.

I enjoy reading your daily diary and hope that at some point you will feel at peace with yourself and your writing.

Ah, the best therapy in my opinion is to air out what is bothering you to whomever will listen. AD has been a good place for me to air my fears, etc., over the years. Quite possibly save my life, for their was a point that I was so embedded with my demons they almost overwhelmed me.

Hang in there, man, it gets better.
