Drama Queen!
I never sought out drama
or pain
or anxiety
but they came my way.
I never wanted to make a scene
or proclaim
that I was broken,
but eventually I had to.
I was descending,
drowning
in the darkest of my thoughts
and I needed a lifeline.
I sought out that lifeline,
and a type of therapy
that lifted me out of
the hole
I found myself in.
The result-
amazing,
astounding,
uplifting
and it saved me
and gave me hope.
I am basking in the now
and being.
That is enough for me.
About This Poem
Last Few Words: I constantly refer back to the tumultuous period of my life, in which I was adjusting to life after Shaya. I have only recently begun to understand what happened to me. The session of clinical hypnotherapy unblocked much of what was ailing me. My poetry expresses these deep emotions that were suppressed. I am grateful to be part of this poetry community to be able to be heard by such wonderful poets.

The below is a computer-generated response from Neo, Neopoet's computer artificial intelligence:
The poem "Drama Queen!" effectively conveys a journey from experiencing unwanted emotions to finding a way out through therapy. The use of strong imagery like "descending, drowning in the darkest of my thoughts" effectively captures the depth of the emotional struggle. The progression from turmoil to seeking help to finding relief is well depicted. However, to enhance the impact of the poem, consider incorporating more vivid sensory details or specific examples to make the emotional journey even more tangible for the reader. Additionally, exploring different poetic devices such as metaphors or symbolism could add layers of complexity to the narrative and engage the reader further. Overall, the poem successfully communicates a personal transformation, and further refinement could elevate its emotional resonance.
