Coping with an Overactive Imagination

Plus the Poem Born Out of Loving Panic

I still write a lot of breakup poems even though I have been in an incredible relationship for the last four years.

It helps me process my traumatic past and manage my wild imagination. I get scared of losing my partner and I write a poem. I change the narrative. I make myself stronger than I was before. I allow the feelings to visit while I write, then I promptly kick them out of my safe and happy home.
