Stranger Poetry Therapy Helpfully Anonymous

I don't know why

But occasionally as I do from time
to time to inspire inspiration

I found myself spending this 
evening going over

And reading some of my earlier poems
I wrote back to me 

And I am glad I did as it serves as a
poignant reminder of who I am and was

Because personally I find poetry as
my way and making sense of life

And thankfully I have been brutally
and honest enough and wear them like
a sleeve

So they appear as my own individual
form of therapy and cleansing of my
soul and inner most demons

Which thankfully for me is lucky and
I should consider myself truly blessed 

Because without the anonymity that
word's and poetry provide to hide behind

I wouldn't be actually able to tell a single
soul if I had to do it in person

So I guess in a way what I am saying
or admitting to is yes 

Quite obviously I am a coward

And a consequence sadly there of 
is this

Maybe the only other people in this
world apart from me who actually 
may know a little about the real me

Are those here kind folk of you on the
soup who have taken your own precious
valuable time 

To listen to and read about some of
my innermost feelings and thoughts

Regarding the story of my life thus far
