Are you carrying emotional baggage that you can’t seem to drop? No matter how much you unpack it, is your past still weighing you down?

Poetry frees. Poetry heals. Poetry transforms. Poetry is a balm to the wounded heart and a lullaby for the troubled mind.

Poetry is not just about rhyming or putting words in a fancy order. It’s not about imitating icons like Maya Angelou, Robert Frost or Rumi. The heart and soul of good poetry is a craving to express, amplify and harmonize with the Divine melodies of this universe.

When was the last time you expressed the Divine melody in you?

Like any art form, poetry is a powerful tool for transforming emotional pain into something beautiful, constructive and soothing. An intentional poem can also be a potent manifestation method, and a technique to reprogram the subconscious mind, bringing the wispy fragments of desire into the physical realm. You don’t have to be an expert to wield the alchemical powers of poetic verse.

Writing changed my life, and poetry may have saved it.

As a teen, I was chronically depressed. For years, I struggled to find the tools that would set my spirit free from the lonely cage my fear and grief constructed. I withdrew from my family. I distanced myself from existing friends and blocked potential new ones. I even engaged in self-harm. I was a prisoner to my own young mind. Then, I learned to write poetry.
