Poetry by our Clients

AAMH's Partial Care Program encourages all clients to express themselves through various artistic outlets such as painting and drawing, creative writing and journaling. Each day clients are encouraged to write down their thoughts, emotions, fears and successes as a means to alleviate of the stresses of being on a path to recovery. The poetry below was all created in response to our client's struggles and successes in conquering mental illness.

A Beautiful People

So peaceful and religious.
So playful and lighthearted.
So preservative and harmonious.
So grateful and beautiful.

They didn't bother what didn't bother them.
They were very spiritual and worshiped
in every way and everyday.
They didn't let the inner child die
because they knew better.
They love and care even for the
strangest stranger.
They didn't let anything die out, not even a fire.
They were in harmony with all of
nature's creatures and creations.
They pried in great happiness for
everything they had.
They are such beautiful people.

Long, flowing, black hair.
Beautifully tanned skin.
Dangerously dark brown eyes.
High cheekbones.
Such beautiful people.
A Beautiful People

Untitled

This world, a corroding play,
Starts for the sun.
Its majestic folds unfoiled,
Its harness undone.

Love's a pretty little rose
Fading silently in the fall
Best to grasp its petals quickly
And save them one and all.

From "Blah" to "Hoorah"

Our climate was clinging to blustering frigid winds but is now allowing us to see the beauty of green grasses, blooming crocuses, and smiling children playing in the fields once again. In this man's opinion, the atmosphere here at Partial Care has done much to assist us, (or should I say, speaking for myself) in reaching recovery. We are well advised to avail ourselves of the treatment available, if we are to benefit from our time here. Personally, I have received all the support I could hope for in finding my bliss?. I wish nothing but the same for all my fellow clients here at AAMH.
