Since that moment
Since that moment
on 20/11/2024,
I let myself cry,
anywhere,
any way,
any how.
Since 20/11/2024,
when Bruce put me under,
and I let out that big sob,
and released
all my emotions,
I give myself permssion
to cry.
It is good for you.
It is healthy for you.
It is a total release of positive energy.
My emotions fly
in whatever direction
they choose to.
I may smile quietly.
I may even laugh out loud.
I can cry.
All of this is good for me.
I recall the first decent nights sleep
I had on 20/11/2024.
That peaceful sleep
which was
the result of the session on 20/11/2024.
I learned to release, relax and let go.
I do it every morning.
So when I cry,
I am celebrating
that I can let it all hang out.
When I laugh out loud,
I am celebrating the joy of life and living.
I am releasing my emotions
for myself,
for my health
and for my well-being.
About This Poem
Last Few Words: The first and greatest take-out from my clinical hypnotherapy session which I have used in the six months since 20/11/2024 is that crying is good for you. It releases positive feelings and makes you feel serene and peaceful. I learned this very significant lesson on that day. So now, when I watch an emotional moment in a film or a documentary, I cry and let it all out. It makes me happy deep inside of me.

The poem "Since that moment" effectively conveys the importance of allowing oneself to express emotions freely, emphasizing the benefits of crying, laughing, and releasing emotions for overall well-being. The use of specific dates and personal experiences adds a sense of authenticity to the poem.
One suggestion for improvement would be to consider varying the structure and rhythm of the poem to create more dynamic flow. This could involve experimenting with line breaks, punctuation, or stanza lengths to enhance the overall impact of the message. Additionally, exploring different poetic devices such as metaphors or imagery could further enrich the emotional depth of the poem.
Overall, the poem successfully captures the theme of emotional release and self-care, and further refinement in structure and poetic techniques could elevate its impact on the reader.
