A poem can be a heartbeat Or just a simple smile Meant to mend a broken soul That's smothered with denial It can be about forgiveness Words your lips can't speak "I'm sorry" written on paper That solace that you seek It can be about the sunshine Or the tears that's in the rain Maybe a long lost memory That fills your heart with pain It can be about relationships Written with your pain Built on broken promises With the lies that now remain A poem can tell us who we are Or who we used to be But most of all a poem is written To set our emotions free
