A way to cope

Each of your thoughts echo 
Inside your head 
They come back to you  
With every breath 
 
You try to run from them 
Hide behind distractions 
But to no veil 
You cannot outrun yourself 
 
So, you decide to let them out 
To give them voice 
Maybe they will stop their torment 
If they torture someone else 
 
But it’s not good  
You no longer only hurt yourself 
But those around too 
You have to run again 
 
But there is a way 
Give them pen and paper 
Words may be ugly,  
But you don’t have to sign under them 
 
You let them all out 
It feels like purification 
Like poison getting out 
So, you can finally heal 
 
Because healing isn’t pretty 
It’s long and complicated 
But when you’re no longer scared 
You will see its worth
