Analysis of Release Therapy
Robert T. Davenport 1979 (Newark, New Jersey)
By Robert T. Davenport
In the depths of my mind, where emotions reside,
I find solace in poetry, my healing guide.
With each verse I write, I release the pain,
Transforming darkness into words that sustain.
In the darkness of despair, I find my light,
Through the power of words, I take my flight.
With ink as my weapon, I conquer my fears,
Crafting verses that dry my sorrowful tears.
In this poetic realm, I find strength anew,
A sanctuary for my soul, where dreams come true.
With every line I weave, I build resilience,
Empowering myself with poetic brilliance.
Words become my armor, protecting my mind,
Shielding me from the battles that I find.
Through metaphors and similes, I find peace,
As my heart finds solace, my worries decrease.
This therapy of poetry, a gift to my soul,
Allows me to mend and regain control.
In the rhythm and rhyme, I find my release,
A refuge for my thoughts, a sense of inner peace.
So, I embrace the power of poetry's embrace,
A mental sanctuary, a sacred space.
With each verse I write, I heal and grow,
Becoming mentally strong, a poem's echo.
