poetry isthe exorcist of my demonsthe water that puts out the fire in my mindthe surgeon that stitches the shredded pieces of my soul back togetherthe angel on my shoulder that keeps the devil from ruining me irrevocablythe aloe vera that soothes me when the pain burns too hot and too brightpoetry heals me  Photo by Denys Nevozhai on Unsplash
