About Poetry

If I am sad or when I’m hurt, I write to let the anger out; It helps to get it off my chest - I find it’s better than to shout. And when I lose my head or heart, I write the words I cannot say; A secret crush, a racing pulse - It keeps me going anyway! For Russell’s Poetry About Poetry contest, 14th January
