Poetry Is My Escape
Can you imagine living a tough childhood
Watching your parents break a part
Heart start aching and watching your world fall apart
Everything you thought would never happen
You witnessed right before your eyes
As a young girl all you can do is cry
Everything became confusing and having no one to turn to
This is when I picked up a pen and paper
Where my heart was into
October 10, 2006 I remember the date
I still have my first written poems till this current day
Poetry is deeper than the words
It helped me start believing again
Writing gave me hope and inspiration too
I began to share my poems and it helped others too
Poetry kept me calm, nice, and kindhearted
Although I was facing hard times it got better
I began to smile again and find love in my heart
Without poetry I don't think I would've got through
If poetry could hear me I would say nothing but Thank You
I find hope, love, happiness, inspiration and a brighter day from writing
I write each day and love it more and more
Poetry is my heart and Writing is the deeper inner core
I write poetry because it is my escape
It opens my eyes to a brighter day
