A POEM BY EMMA
About her experience during the CREATIVE JOURNEY FOR WOMEN workshops at the MELBOURNE ART THERAPY STUDIO.

To take on board
A task of connection
And while on the way
Get lost in reflection

The unavoidable spur
Of the moment unplanned
Which I’ve hated so much
And can’t understand

When I have no control
I get horribly tense
I freeze and I shrink
And it makes no sense

Because no one can plan
Their entire life out
But I always hoped
On that I’d cast doubt

Of course I’m no different
I’m the same as all others
And yet different in ways
That makes heaven shudder

To think that one being
Would throw away life
That they’ve worked so hard
To give me in strife

On an inexplicable habit
I’ve spent many years
And I worry so much
About the toll that it bears...


...On me and my family
I’ve cast much pain
And sorrow and sadness
Life I can’t regain

though I don’t want it back
Because I’ve paved my own path
But through these ten Mondays
I’ve done all this art

Which was not foreseen
Foreplanned or prepared
But turned out as well
As I’d hoped to have shared

I can say I’m proud
Of the work that’s achieved
And the creation and thoughts
That this therapy relieved

So to take on board
A life of perfection
And to stumble upon
A golden reflection

A memory of time
That I needed right then
And to see that perhaps
I can use it again.
