This week I am featuring one of my favorite modern day poets. She wrote this poem with the prompt mental health and art as a coping skill.
5-4-3-2-1
Breathe
Stop
Smell the roses
Blow the candles
At least,
That's what they tell me
They say it helps relieve anxiety
I don't know who THEY are
5-4-3-2-1
They tell me to use my coping skills
Art
Is the biggest one of all
Drawings dancing on the page
Colours forming like a rainbow
To create something beautiful
Art
It calms me
I smell the roses
Blow the candles
And breathe a big sigh
Of contentment
Because Art is what saved me
From reality
