Poetry is uncovering the perfect words to describe the undescribable.

It is the smile shared between two past lovers turned strangers.

Poetry is the intimate hug after months of seperation.

Poetry is time difference, teaching us in the late hours of the morn just how beautiful it all is.

It teaches how to survive the heart wrenching pain when you hear his laugh for the first time in months after he said goodbye.

It causes you confusion, yet complete understanding.

Poetry reminds you of the good days that you never want to end on those dreadful days when you want to end all.

Poetry is strength, mistakenly seen as weakness. 

It shows a way to use your scars to an advantage.

Poetry has taught me that I can escape the world, if even for just a moment; all thanks

to the simplicity and complexity of words.
