“But I'm already living the rest of my life
not under conditions of my choosing
wired into pain”
Julia Darling, The Poetry Cure
“Harmless, by experts. Even the simplest poem
May destroy your immunity to human emotions.
All poems must carry a Government warning Words
Can seriously affect your heart.”
Julia Darling, The Poetry Cure
“You ask me how I'm going to live
the rest of my life
Well, nothing is predictable with pain”
Julia Darling, The Poetry Cure
“There are fires to be suffered
the blaze of cruelty, the smoulder
of inextinguishable longing, even
the gentle candleflame of peace
that burns too.

I suffer them. I survive”
Julia Darling, The Poetry Cure
“Daydreaming comes easy to the ill:
slowed down to the speed of waiting rooms,
you learn to hang suspended in the wallpaper,
to drift among the magazines and plants,
feeling a strange love
for the time that might be killing you.”
Julia Darling, The Poetry Cure
“A people sometimes will step back from war;
elect an honest man; decide they care
enough, that they can't leave some stranger poor.
Some men become what they were born for.”
Julia Darling, The Poetry Cure
