Poetry is release when I am bound. 

Poetry is truth when the world lies. 

Poetry is understanding when no one is. 

Poetry is. 

Poetry is young when you must grow up. 

Poetry is old when you find new wisdom. 

Poetry is. 

Poetry is the world expressed in words. 

Poetry is happiness when the heart is sad. 

Poetry is sadness with a proper outlet. 

Poetry is. 

Poetry is light uncovering shadows. 

Poetry is dark and hidden and coveted secrets. 

Poetry is the soul, shown in its full glory. 

To me,

Poetry is life.
