Therapeutic Poet Poem by Peitho Enthermos

Happy ninth year, PE!
With poetry, I had time to think over my life as a big picture and rethink it in thousands of pieces like a huge jigsaw puzzle over the years. It helped me as well, slow down with overthinking, cease anxiety, heal depression, and calm anger. It got me involved in Literary writing, Campus Journalism, to the program I graduated from, and to most of my life-leading adventures.
I always think, nay, more like remind myself that God had His intentions when He blessed me with this kind of passion, though, it makes me perpetually wonder what in poetry there is that makes this soul thrive, at the same time. I am met with proverbs, psalms, songs of songs, and lamentations for this, like, an answer to my wondering (or so I thought) , but I thank God that I still wonder; for I find purpose, rest, and am with assurance of peace as I am guided with this wonder in living humbly.
The first years of my poetry weren't like a prodigy; I started with scribbles, scrawls, petty thoughts, random phenomena, and scraps. If you happen to read one of my earlier writings, you'd laugh or maybe you won't feel anything at all. I still hoped and I still believed. So, I continued.
A lot of people who don't know me may think I am just an amateur (and I know being an amateur isn't bad)or I am a wannabe, or I am desperate... Yet, thank God, with the same intensity, I am constantly upheld by people who deeply know me and are happy with my improvements. They know the bigger picture, they know the pieces. They know how I began and they are keeping up, with me in my journey to "a great perhaps". :)
