what poetry is to me

Location

The silent bestfriend that is a great listener,

The easiest way to express your feelings on paper.

When things get rough and no one to talk to,

Your thoughts, pen and paper will surely do.

Poetry is my escape,

When I feel like hiding.

Poetry is my comfort,

To keep myself from crying.

Its a way to coop,

with pain or just a normal day.

Its a way to let go,

from all the hurt that became a shadow.

Its a way to refresh,

your mind, body and spirit.

Its a way to let yourself know,

When you are tired, and you've had it.

Its a long lasting friendship,

That will never end.

When all seems lost,

Poetry is always a true friend.
