can't quite express

Can’t Quite Express is a 6500+ word epic poem. Part expression, Part confession, Part question. It is an intimate look at the impact of mental illness, trauma, and neglect. A critical dissection of the interconnected roles that family, religion, society, education, and government play, as well as their impacts upon an individual. A commentary on current affairs, historical trends, and the bleak potential of our collective future. Can’t Quite Express is also both an example of, and an encouragement for, writing therapy. It will show you how to use writing to heal, and then encourage you to pick up a pen and begin for yourself. The page listens. It doesn’t judge. It has a perfect memory but can be easily discarded. It is always available, always accepting, always there. Can’t Quite Express will move you to contemplate, introspect and act. It will leave a mark. One that will reverberate into your future through your words, actions, relationships, and writing. “There are things I want to say But just can't quite express Ruminations and meditations I'm too afraid to address Like the veil over my eyes That keeps me hidden from the stress To the dark wishes I'm fighting to suppress Like the fear and anxiety That I will constantly transgress To the past expressions I am never going to confess Like how everything I do Gives me nothing but duress To the unwavering ache and torment That’s causing me to regress I must profess I desire to express my stress Confess to address this abscess To obsess on happiness To aim for excess And to stop living like such a mess Yes I want to make progress But there are just some things I can't quite express”
