So true, poetry is a true expression of the heart's cry.
As for me it is a creative outlet for emotions which could otherwise turn negative.
To be honest I am going through a huge baggage of health issues and I need to give vent to my frustration, but I hate focusing on negative thoughts, but I do allow myself to do this once in a while to let off steam.
Thanks once again for stopping by @mell79
