Killing Creativity

Therapy kills the writer’s spirit
It sucks at our souls
yanking at our
stories
feelings
minds

We give it freely
to save our lives
fending off the reaper
yet it empties us inside
stretching the sanity
of the writer within
leaving our brains cleared
bodies starved
spirits incomplete

We try to force
what the professionals
have raped away
leaving us with nothing but
a free verse poem
that I didn’t want to write
and you didn’t care to read.
