Drain The ***** Water First

By Risa Ruse

I celebrated my victory over persecution.
I did this by sharing my story of resolution.

I retorted my discovery.
It was related to work done to my gutters in recovery.

When on the latter burling a hole in the gutter the water kept pouring out.
I could not finish my goal of making a spout.

I realized that I needed to stop drilling the hole.
The matter needed time to drain the ***** water to complete my goal.

Like the gutters needing to drain--
So did my brain.

I had to get rid of all the old hurts.
Otherwise my heart was sure to burst!

Now the ***** water was all let out.
I give thanks for the new spout.

Not only that, but my life has taken a turn-about.
I throw up my hands in praise and give a shout!
This is one of my published poems in my book, "PTSD Poetry Healing Restores Joy and Prosperity". In my poetry anthology I show how I went through the steps to clean out each negative emotion from past trauma through poetry inspired by the Divine.  These emotions are universal for those suffering from PTSD. My poems are published articles used in PTSD healing workshops. http://RisaRuse.com
