Loneliness Is Wishing To Cry Can we really control our loneliness when it attacks? Of course not. However, we can employ the means by which to channel it into a positive force. A force whereby we recruit others and together battle this power of the dark side attempting to cajole us into this state of melancholy. We have to collectively rise to the occassion, and with the force of Good, vanquish it forever more. Here is a short poem about what loneliness means to me. It was written at a time in my life when I was trying to deal with the recent death of a close family member. Needless to say, I was most devasted at the time of this writing. This poem at that time, in reflection, acted as a therapeutic means for me to "get it all out". Loneliness is despair Loneliness is something to beware Loneliness is the thought today of no tomorrow Loneliness is wishing to cry without knowing why Loneliness is a simple feeling without a simple answer Loneliness comes Loneliness goes Loneliness is that uninvited guest who visits, always without a request Loneliness is a sickness you my friend are the cure Together we will strengthen and together we will endure.....

Loneliness - Its True Meaning
A marvel millions of years in the making. Where the womb of Earth chaotically meets the surface. Under a clear blue sky, an expanse of bliss - But beneath gray rolling clouds, an endless enigma. The easiest world to get lost in is one where everything can be found. One can only build a sand castle where the sand is wet. But where the sand is wet, the tide comes. Will it gently lick at your foundations until you give in? Or will a sudden wave send you crashing down in the blink of an eye? Either way the outcome is the same. Yet we still build sand castles. I stand where the foam wraps around my ankles. Where my toes squish into the sand. The salty air is therapeutic. The breeze is gentle, yet powerful. I sink my toes into the ultimate boundary line, tempted by the foamy tendrils. Turn back, and I abandon my peace to erode at the shore. Drift forward, and I return to Earth forevermore.

Beach ( A poem by Yuri from DDLC)
⭐️ *Reading is like Sitting under A canopy of trees Listening to the humming of bees Chirp of birds A gentle breeze soothing the mind Absorbing the warmth of the early morning sunshine Being one with nature A solitude Undefined Peace Writing is like An ever flowing stream Cascading rills Sparkling placid waters The essence of nature The different seasons Like a flurry of emotions The moments lived Reminiscing the times The Moments to come The moments one dreams Different reasons Wrapped in words ideal Writing is Therapeutic The essence of it all* ⭐️

We go after stuff just to make us feel whole It’s our therapeutic way to gain some control It’s a kiss on the neck, or that burn down our throat The stories we tell make us feel less remote We **** up our lives just to give ourselves purpose Earn trophies and badges to feel less worthless Sleep with a few strangers and break a few laws Cause we’re already ****** can’t you tell by our flaws?

when arrived, feels like home like a bubble, like a dome peaceful people all around enjoying this crazy sound so much colors, crazy figures all this smells pulling my triggers intense, incense, aromatic be tense? no sense, just be static entering, meeting the fellows or should I just say some jellos wiggling with the rhythmic music for us this is therapeutic waves of sound hitting my face punching hard with deepest bass I believe that things will turn I choose not to be concernded this 'so crazy, this 'so good here we find the greatest brood jewls of every generation some eletric, others pacient colored waters, not for thirst only if you need a burts shining patterns underneath make it hard for me to breath then the sun comes up for us contributes for the new buzz now you see who's there with you and who didn't make it through sunglasses get pulled out soon the sun will loudly shout soul, mind and body fused into one nice breakfeast juice that's when people start to leave not what I like to archieve "I will stay", I always say until the end of the day molly, goa, lucy, prog buds and buddys, love and fog I'm so glad this moments caught me this is just my type of party

I learned how to draw dragons in 3rd grade. I did so compulsively, and voraciously because it was therapeutic. But they loathed me, and inherited no majesty from whom they were made. Though I loved them. And I empathyzed with what they would never be. Because what if my creator had no plans for me.

therapy and resistance how is it that therapy becomes the excess of class war or the oppression thereof? When the struggle of the individual is made to seem self induced when it is easily and clearly directly a result of the failures and complacence afforded by the majority of the group. When in a therapeutic environment it is important to distinguish the opportunities of resistance from the experience of trauma. there has always been individuals who establish groups that are in a realm of desperation. Understanding how this process has unfolded institutionally is just as valid as treating the individual. This gives the individual the choice and resources needed to heal. The healing could look like resistance rather than assuming aspects of class war or oppressive culture to be normal. Otherwise therapy is nothing but the means to normalize the process of oppression. The traumatic state needs to be able to decipher its organic existence from that of organized oppression and its institutional cooperation. the neglect of deciphering or distinguishing these differences causes individuals to make a competition out of trauma. This minimizes certain trauma of individuals and causes the group to have less of an opportunity to resist organized oppression of the institution. Those that are in the realm of desperation or traumatic state are given no choice but to repress in order to continue being social or a member of the group. in excess the hierarchies of gender, race and class are reinforced to an almost superhuman level. To the desperate or traumatic state… what needs reinforcement is that there are humans just like us who have resisted oppression and caused the normalcy of the group to be more inclusive and aware of the processes associated with organized oppression.

Random Sampling Coughing up a lung, sticking out my tongue. Looking up her skirt, dropped my pencil in the dirt. Watching movies just for fun, I will never own a gun. Cat **** on the floor, kicked it out the door. Jake The Snake and The Macho Man, will forever be a wresting fan. Heavy metal and hard rock, Skid Row's singer was Sebastian Bach. New Jersey's pizza is the best, it would beat New York's in any taste test. Slept with girls, I didn't like, soon after, I made them take a hike. Never slept with a man, if the money was right, I guess I can. Love all my family and friends, mess with them and I will defends. Done some killer drugs, stuck screwdrivers in some plugs. I love paper, I love pen, I'm more smart than the Three Wise Men. Pina Colada's in Margaitaville, then I take the bitter pill. I still love eighties music, it's relaxing and therapeutic. Baseball is my favorite sport, the Phillies, I will always support. The next Super Bowl will be held in San Quentin, ***** girls take it on the chin. I had a few nervous breakdowns, I've put on a few to many pounds. Allen does what Allen wants, how's that for my final response.

Smooth, strong, deep, therapeutic. Hands playing on my skin like a virtuoso pianist. Stroking, kneading, pressing. With every stroke, his hands melt my stress. Sooth my pains, physical and mental. My anxiety fades. My mind rests. Stroking, kneading, pressing. His hands are sensual. His eyes are closed, so his hands move on their own. No distractions. Just natural. Instinctive. Stroking, kneading, pressing. I’m open and vulnerable, self conscious. But his hands even sooth my flaws, and imperfections. Press against places I keep covered. Unflattering angles I would rather keep hidden, But somehow his hands seem to find beauty even in that. Stroking, kneading, pressing. Dang....the hour is up.

His Hands
Adored you from afar,lacked the courage to talk to you. For someone who claims to be so confident, you made me weak. My only weakness, my Achilles heel, Dearth of you would make me scream. Scream out loud,loud, LOUD. My mother told me love hurts but she never told me that it makes you breathless, Gasping for breath as I realize that my love is not just my love, My love is my reason, my reason to live. My reason to live, you get me through the dark days. The dark days turn to dark nights that terrify me, You're my beacon of light, my lighthouse. This ship lost its way and the captain has give up, The sailors are missing and the waves are ruthless. Ruthless, ruthless, I take the blows. That's only because I fall back onto you. My wall, my security blanket, my therapeutic ice cream. If you were ice cream ,you'd be vanilla, I'd be chocolate because chocolate is nothing without vanilla.

Texts from my mother while in recovery: #1 Following the rules is easy, doing what's right is easy. #2 Stop making attempts at manipulation. #3 Stop it. What is the point? #4 Stop acting out. #5 Stop being disrespectful. #6 It seems like you are not even trying. #7 Are you behaving today? Are you being respectful? #8 Stop being so negative. #9 Show some insight. #10 Just be positive. Because treatment is so easy. And treatment is not a place where I should ever feel upset or act out in any type of way. Never can I say a negative word about how I am feeling--- no. I must say, "I am sad but it doesn't matter because it's a beautiful day out!" I am finished with feeling belittled and unheard. Where is my support? I lost everyone including my mother now. It seems like all I have is me and I will do absolutely nothing good for myself, so right now I am alone.

Therapeutic Texts
1) Mental hospitals are more like dramas/comedies than horror     films. When people think of psych wards they think of criminally     insane people rocking back and forth, talking to their imaginary     friends and throwing chairs. Don't get me wrong, there's some of     those. But most of us just do word searches, color, joke about     serious things. 2) We aren't monsters, we are your brothers, your daughters, your     mother, your co-worker we are just regular people who have lost     our way and need some help finding the path again 3) I am closer to people I knew for 2 weeks than I will ever be with     anyone on the outside. Yes we all call it the outside 4) Sometimes talking to people who understand what you're going     through is more therapeutic than the actual therapy groups. This     is not to say that the doctors there are crap it is just to say that no       matter how much they read and listen they will never truly     understand what it feels like unless they have been there and we     can tell who has been there, they go the extra mile to make us     feel like people 5) It's not a vacation, it's not fun, it's not an escape from the real     world. It is the hardest thing I have ever done. It is work. 6) Everyone in there is a person in unbearable pain but it isn't just a     bunch of people sitting around crying. We go from group to     group and then color and go to bed nothing about it is really fun     but you get used to it 7) The mental hospital is like a camp for empty people, just like a     band camp we can all relate to each other and makes you feel     less alone 8) Getting discharged it a great feeling because you are free, but it     is also completely terrifying, in the hospital it's safe, people get it,     there is always someone to talk to and now you're all alone 9) Just because I've spent 7 and a half weeks in a mental hospital     over 2 stays doesn't mean I am fixed there is no cure for my     illnesses and that's just the way it is 10) We are not who you think, the kindest people I've ever met      were also the ones hurting the most.

They kept her in the attic with the rest of the nonsense An improvised pen and paper of fingernails and floorboards. Cracked windows rusted shut from years of disuse Chapped lips pinched shut from years of neglect. Broken mirrors on the floor from outbursts no one heard Shattered eyes blinking hollowly because no one was listening. Patterns traced on dust covered windows letting bars of light shine through Therapeutic Sunlight outlining shadows that shouldn't be there, dust mites that should. Daisy; the name she gave herself after forgetting her original. Daisy; what she'd call herself should she ever get out. Withered; what she became.

Another Sunday, time to recover From all the drugs, my only lover Take my B vitamins to start the circulation With some fish oils to reduce inflammation Most importantly, are my amino acids Because of that I've been flushed So now I replenish these masses The benzos are the only drugs that get touched So addicted to them, so I know it's a must If a doctor read this, he'd understand my logic But if a doctor read this, he'd command me to stop it As I continue my day with my normal acting mind I realize I'm a slave to drugs, all the time But I'm financially flourished The whole family I nourish And after reading these poems, I feel some people get jealous Who would follow me? They know my soul I had sold it I always follow back, I'm not a bad guy Now sit on top of that, I'm not living a lie I could really care less about it It's just an alias, and a therapeutic outlet Just another Sunday Glad you read about it

CAN'T YOU FEEL.. The gentle sound of my heartbeat,  suddenly pounding with all the intent of tearing me apart-like a lady having anxiety attacks with no help within reach? CAN'TYOU SEE This sparkle in ma eyes, suddenly replaced by the look of fear aroused by images deeply ingrained in my memory, Memories you created that now torture even though you meant them to teach? CAN'T YOU HEAR? This melodious tune turned a melancholic symphony created by my wailing n sobbing,caused by a voice once therapeutic now at its faintest sound I flinch? CAN'T YOU SMELL? The stench of hatred as from us it emanates and slowly it spreads into ds crowded space we share, as little by little, layers of enmity fills the air we breath? If all these you knew then your senses would interprete That at your touch I cower; From a feeling once sweet and tender that now drains every ounce of strength and leaves me without power. That at the sight of these I choose blindness; Away from the ethereal face that at the sight of, leaves me numb As to your smell I get nauseous; so nauseous That I taste the bitterness of heartbreak And hear the sad music my heart will play at the sound of your heart bidding mine farewell So please, I humbly plead, let me go! But if break my heart you must n breach my trust, Then let all we ever shared be counted a loss and from our memories be swept away like dust, Please!  Be fair in your dealings with me I plead Be kind and just... For this heart has only started to heal, Please don't let it rot or rust.. -r3d-

The days have blended into a poetic haze of mismatched syllables, hanging participles accented with a hint of discourage. My purpose use to be therapeutic. Each rhyme I wrote was a comma in my run-on sentences. And for awhile, I could breathe. Each breath became less wheezy, uneven and strained. After I gathered enough air, I dared to speak. Me? How could I even have the audacity to think!? To my disbelief, my words didn't fall on deaf ears. The anxiety, shame, depression and fear woven into every poem made me familiar in the minds of strangers. These strangers made me feel human. With quickness that's comparable to the slickness of a parable I was ****** from a catapult into the essence of prose. However, the latency between the beginning of my literary journey and the discovery of my gift for poetry was afflicting my sensibility. I succumbed to the bullying from hyperboles and the taunting of iambic pentameter. At times I was afraid to talk to neighbors for fear of narrative structure overhearing.   Now, I am wandering in a fog though the hills of unpublished work, echoed only by the crunch of "not good enough" beneath my feet. This was therapeutic.  Now I use it to influence my movements.

Back to the drawing board
"...In the young man's bedroom police found disturbing poetry, drawings, and writings. The boy's father said he knew about these and encouraged the boy to stop them." The television droned on. A school shooting. Numbers, irrelevant. The boy took his own life along with his classmate's. "His father, the model of manliness, told him to stop the only way he knew how to express himself." said the decrepit octogenarian to his squat, plump nurse. "Yes, Mr. Smith. You shouldn't be watching that stuff... it gets you all excited then I have to come in here and check your pulse, and heart, and oxygen." Would hate to make you get up... He thought. "The anger can't be bottled up forever. It will come out. It could have come out in a therapeutic and peaceful way, but it came out in a violent and brutal way." "Yes, Mr. Smith, the world is a terrible place." "That's not what I said. What stands between a murderer and an Einstein is the ability to express oneself. This boy was taught that his expression was wrong, therefore he was wrong." "The youth are troubled." "The youth are perfect. They haven't had the weight and burden of time ****** on them. They are the only ones free from the ******** story we all buy of the way things are. They can express themselves and change the world, but we have to stop telling them they're wrong." "Oh of course Mr. Smith, the children are our future..." Stupid ***** she's not even listening. She can't wait to get back to her one handed novel she's got at the reception desk. The man closed his eyes and dreamed of what could be if he were young again.

Disturbing Expressions
"...In the young man's bedroom police found disturbing poetry, drawings, and writings. The boy's father said he knew about these and encouraged the boy to stop them." The television droned on. A school shooting. Numbers, irrelevant. The boy took his own life along with his classmate's. "His father, the model of manliness, told him to stop the only way he knew how to express himself." said the decrepit octogenarian to his squat, plump nurse. "Yes, Mr. Smith. You shouldn't be watching that stuff... it gets you all excited then I have to come in here and check your pulse, and heart, and oxygen." Would hate to make you get up... He thought.

Teenagers write poems about sadness And I diagnose Drain false narcissistic depth I choose to diagnose Girls that moan about darkness I can try emphasize At a therapeutic distance Walls rather a leather settee Cry me your conjured problems The attention that you desperately need Hug into my False intellectual façade You want your name in lights Rose-colored perception Of a overused typecast Your sadness poetic and bottomless Caught in the flight Spotlight That you cannot bear Insipid perpetuity Whining and moaning and whining Life in hard and it is not fair I’ve seen it all before But should I sit Put myself high on a pedestal Satisfied with my own scholarly ruse What I lack in qualifications I make up in apathy You wear a different coat You messy attention grabbing Poetically distraught Attracted to the next sparkly thing That will make you more interesting You magpie, you lemming, you I will hold your hand if you hold mine

Blood Boiling (Hit em up freewrite)
Energy radiates and traces my body with celestial tones I am more alive than I’ve ever been when surrendering to awe and wonder the same way my younger self fearlessly did something about that glimmer hasn’t left yet, may never leave memories still have flavors to me mornings with a lake of flakes in my bowl or years and years later when a fried hangover cure restores me each month and its esculent flashbacks are a part of me a cell in the skin a beaten feather in the wing something about the glimmer hasn’t left yet the Earth is still new and discoveries never expire: new scenery new explorations new chronicles in the cinema new kindred spirits new waves of audio new therapeutic solitudes all balancing out the new captivities new mistakes new mediocrity new unhealthy solitudes and more until the body is a home base of homeostasis commensalism at its finest but something about the glimmer hasn’t left yet, may never leave I outgrew shadows who doubted their expiration dates I don’t rubricate the sky in a rage anymore don’t let the heartbreak pause a pulse anymore don’t let misanthropy obscure who I see anymore don’t let uncertainty’s web catch me in a paralysis anymore or at least I try something tells me I’ll never “age out” of my hunger to live fully I know deep down you're similar your craving will not fade into cinders oh what a feelin! To be trippin on nostalgia.
