Humans are deeply emotional, whether we tap into those emotions or not. We all have coping mechanisms too—some healthier than others. For me, coping means grabbing a pen and a journal and letting loose the feelings I've trapped in my heart. Maybe you're an avoider or a stuffer, or maybe you're a verbal processor. Regardless of how you handle emotions, maybe these poems will give you insight into your own heart and feelings as they did for me; maybe these words will give your heart a voice too.
