ROUGH DRAFT: Things I suggest are below in bold

Poetry has been a very powerful form of writing for many and there are some (remove the word "some")beneficial factors that correspond with writing and reading poetry. Personal experience and memories, whether traumatic or repressed, can be tackled by the person through the artistic ability of writing and facing these emotions that have been neglected in order to release and ease the pain that it has once h'''eld. Poetry does not need only positive experiences or emotions in order to be written, but rather any emotion that the writer is feeling or felt in order to portray that specific type of emotion to then be able to engage with others who experiences the same type of effect as them. (Maybe try to make this sentence a little clearer)''' For there to be an act of healing and release between the emotions that have been held within the conscience, the author must recognize that there must be a strong enough need to be vulnerable and willing to be able to confront these emotions and trust that the audience will them be able to relate and potentially make others want to use this written release within their own lives. Ignorance should never be the course of action when experiencing all kinds of emotion because without the ability to talk about what has been within you, it becomes more difficult to understand what each of these emotions represent and how they affect your current views of life. Poetry has a power like no other (<maybe take this out you) to be able to talk about inner suffering without judgment and rather gain the ability to have others be able to compare and connect with your experiences. These experiences, no matter if they are good or bad, correspond with the human experience'''. (Add period and break this sentence up)''' and being able to have others relate to them allows you to feel supported and reflect on what has been shared and what you have obtained with this release and be able to begin healing. James W. Pennebaker has analyzed that when writing about the experiences that has affected you within the course of your life, you are then able to remove yourself from the narrative and process these emotions with an outside point of view, then being able to make yourself "owners, not subjects of their own emotional situations". Once you are able to free yourself from what has been weighing you down, you are then able to begin healing and decide whether you are going to learn from the experience, or if it is something that has been long overdue for a release. Only the person knows what they have gone through, so the first steps into healing and coping with what life has given, we must first be able to talk about these experiences in order to take back the power and decide the next point of action.

Good information! I like that it was all pretty easy to read and understand.
