Poem To Help You Heal Your Broken Heart

By Stewart L. Haney
Nov 8, 2009
If you're ever been thru a gloomy break up with somebody you are love, you'll have written a sad poem. You'll have even written such a poem for stuff like the loss of a pet or a member of the family, unhappiness at departing from your chums, or any amount of miserable life events. But it appears nothing galvanizes such miserable poetry as a break up or divorce. Just as few things provoke love poetry like being in a content, loving relationship.

Poetry is an excellent medium for self-expression. Unless you are writing poetry with the hope of having it published one day, you can write poetry however you like. It doesn't have to be good poetry. You don't have to understand any of the poetic terms or conventions like rhyme, meter or free verse. You don't even have to have ever read a really good poem in your life to write a heartbroken poem that can help you feel better and maybe help you heal from the pain of a break-up.

An critical early step in getting over a break up or any gloomy situation is just facing the discomfort. Although it might feel better to avoid working with the actuality of the situation, you cannot actually move past it without facing it and feeling the discomfort, at least for some time. So facing up to whatever painful situation is occurring is necessary. A sad poem will help you deal with those unpleasant feelings when you're split with somebody you like.

Don't worry about whether it good or not. No one else ever has to read your heartbroken poem. It's for you and you alone. Just write down your feelings, as hard as that may be. You can write in plain language. Don't try to imitate the poets of the 17th and 18th century. Write like you talk, and break the lines where it feels natural to you. In fact, you can start by writing one huge paragraph filled with all your feelings and everything you want to express, just to get it out. Then you can go back and arrange your thoughts and feelings into a poem.

Once you are written a sad poem, you may want to pen more about different parts of the agony. That is good. Get down all you can, which will help you to face the agony. Writing the poetry will often be a particularly emotional time for you. Don't try and stop it. Just let the agony out and you l be better in a position to push on.

If you decide you need to share your sad poem, you can show family or chums. Or if you'd like to share it but not with anyone you know, you can put it online. There are web sites designed exclusively for such things. You can upload your poetry for free and let other people know if you need to receive feedback or not. You could choose to not receive comments on your sad poem and just enjoy the undeniable fact that you are shared your experience.
