Healing
by
Jack Mann
I see poems differently now that I start to review them
They are not really what they at first seem to be
Good poetry reveals the inner soul of the author
Freud once said "Man alone is sincere,
but at the entrance of a second person
hypocrisy begins"
Poetry is a means of revealing oneself truthfully
Of getting things off your chest, so to speak
I would think it to be good therapy
As well as communicating ideas and feelings to others
When we can express to others, those things that bother us,
Either verbally, on paper, in Confession or otherwise,
Then, and only then, do we have a chance to be healed.
