Life with its bountiful ups and downs,

and times of excitement and fear, 

will always get better.

For poetry is a path,

an unobtrusive outlet,

that emancipates negativity,

including all its effects,

from the writer. 

Something as simple as pen and paper,

yet as limitless as a blank slate,

carries a large weight. 

Though the contents of the paper varies,

with a range of subjects, characters, and settings,

one thing always stays constant.

The healing power of expression,

regardless of the situation,

will always remain an integral,

and largely crucial,

part of the poetry process.
