From Pen to Paper

Join Anita for LBBC's first Writing Series!
Anita Peterkin, who signed up for LBBC’s Fall Writing Series: Writing the Journey, shares a poem that highlights why she decided to participate in the 6-week program that will be facilitated by Alysa Cummings, breast cancer suvivor and Certified Poetry Therapist.
From pen to paper
Transferring my thoughts
Of emotions and feelings
Which were captured and caught
Adjectives, phrases, verbs and nouns
Between pen and paper is where it was found
My life, my journey of the ultimate change
Complicated days and nights all so strange
From diagnosis to treatment of such a disease
The power of writing has kept my mind at ease
Allowing disposal of what was held so deeply within
Releasing powerful energy to let a healing begin
When feeling that no one else could possibly understand
I turned to my pen and paper at hand
When denial and uncertainty became uncommonly clear
Journaling my thoughts helped to conquer most fears
As therapeutic and engaging that my writing has been
It has allowed me to observe this journey as the beginning, not an end
Most has been written for me and only by me to be read
But if other eyes shall see, they’ll read what was said
From pen to paper
I have transferred my thoughts
Each day awaits the emotions and feelings
That will be profound and beautifully caught
