Poetry Is

Location

Its the light at the end of the tunnel,

the weight off of my shoulders,

it says what couldn't be spoken.

Its the opening of a cage,

the releasing of a thought, 

the pattern of silence is broken.

Its a peep into the mind

of an introspective, outspoken

teen who just likes to write.

Its the insight into a language,

quite abstract, just unnatural,

from the usual verses that fly by night.

Its the opening of doors,

the realization of life,

a whirlwind of opportunity.

Expressing the unexpressed,

revealing the hidden,

high above scrutiny.

Poetry is saying what cannot be said, 

yet speaking anyway.

Writing words to change the world,

I wouldn't give it up any day.
