Heartbroken Poem To Help You Heal From The Break Up

By Cherry Wilkinson

If you have ever been thru a sad break-up with someone you've love, you may have written a sad poem. You will have even written such a poem for stuff like the loss of a pet or a family member, unhappiness at moving away from your chums, or any amount of sad life events. But it appears nothing inspires such unhappy poetry as a break up or divorce. Just as few things evoke love poetry like being in a cheerful, loving relationship.

Poetry is an excellent medium for self-expression. Unless you are creating poetry with the hope of having it made public one day, you can write poetry however you like. It doesn't have to be good poetry. You do not have to understand any of the poetic terms or conventions like rhyme, meter or free verse. You do not even have ever read a really good poem in your life to scribble a sad poem that will help you feel better and perhaps help you heal from the pain of a break-up.

An vital early step in getting over a break-up or any sad situation is just facing the pain. While it might feel better to avoid dealing with the reality of the situation, you cannot truly move past it without facing it and feeling the discomfort, at least for a while. So facing up to whatever painful situation is occurring is necessary. A sad poem can help you deal with those painful feelings when you've split with somebody you like.

Don't fret about whether it's good or not. No one else ever has to read your heartbroken poem. It's for you and you alone. Just write down your feelings, as hard as that may be. You can write in plain language. Don't try to imitate the poets of the 17th and 18th century. Write like you talk, and break the lines where it feels natural to you. Essentially, you can start by writing one large paragraph filled with all your feelings and everything you would like to express, just to get it out. Then you can go back and organize your thoughts and feelings into a poem.

Once you've written a heartbroken poem, you may want to scribble more about different parts of the agony. That is good. Get down everything you can, which will help you to face the agony. Writing the poetry will probably be a very emotional time for you. Don't try to stop it. Just let the agony out and you'll be better able to move on.

If you decide you would like to share your sad poem, you can show family or friends. Or if you need to share it but not with anyone you know, you can put it online. There are websites designed just for such things. You can upload your poetry for free and let other people know if you need to receive criticism or not. You could choose to not receive comments on your sad poem and just enjoy the fact that you've shared your experience.
