Poetic Relief

[Misplaced_Soul]

I find that reading and writing poems seems to help me with my nerves and feelings sometimes. I went through a stage of not being able to sleep and i found this one poem that seemed to put my mind at ease.

All You who Sleep Tonight

All you who sleep tonight
Far from the ones you love,
No hand to left or right
And emptiness above -

Know that you aren't alone
The whole world shares your tears,
Some for two nights or one,
And some for all their years.

Vikram Seth

I also find relief through creating art or concentrating on one instrument in a band, such as a heavy metal band. Does anybody else do these things or am i alone in this?

Playing guitar is very relaxing for me :)

I was actually thinking of trying to learn to play the guitar.
