The weight of the world can be burdensome for youth

Whose minds grow heavy with the weight of words

A lens through which one expresses how they see the truth

I have found that poetry can open me to relieve stress

It is a medium through which my thoughts may thrive

Through which I may be introspective in front of others

And ultimately feel ecstatic about being alive alive

And being able to share my struggles and love letters to beauty

The world is full of so many errors

It is also full of many silver linings

Poetry helps me surpass the terrors

So that I mat flourish and be at peace

Even for just a moment in time is enough
