Writing Dirty is Cathartic

It’s like screaming
Dropping f bombs
Going for a long run

Expressing myself
Through dirty poetry
Purges thoughts
I’d rather not keep
Locked inside

DUP is my safe space
To give my internal
And external world
A voice

My healing journey
Of restoration
And renewal

I spent too many
Years hiding
From the me
I am today

Afraid of shame
Cowering to social pressure

I’ve been told
I can do better
Much better
That I’m capable
Of more

I’m aware of what
I’m capable of
Thank you
Very much

I do me better
Than anyone else
I got this

I function much better
When I express
(rather than suppress)
In the manner
That I choose

It’s a matter of survival

And
It feels
Fucking awesome
