Displacement

A Poem About Writing for Therapy

By Pink JokerPublished 9 years ago • 1 min read

I want to write

I need to type

The word’s don’t really matter

Don’t want to sigh

Don’t want to cry

Just hear the key-board’s chatter

How did I cope

In times of mope

Before I had my journal?

Did I talk mad

When feeling sad?

Or was it all internal?

Ignore Whatsapp

Don’t Twitter tap

And never speak to people

Turn off Facebook

Don’t even look

At social media sheeple

My diary fills

With over spills

Of lust and love and madness

I rant and shout

To get it out

But live real life with gladness

(Or at least I try to!)

I write stuff. The images are often stolen from Google coz I can't work out how to post without an image. The writing is all mine. (Unless it is particularly bad, then I may blame hackers or something.)
