Heart of a Poem
Have you ever really wondered
What poems truly are
It's something hidden inside of us
That we carry like a scar
It's simply raw emotion
That we're molding on each day
Til the words come out perfected
And we know just what to say
The pen then meets the paper
Like two strangers from afar
Without any sure direction
Like a helpless falling star
It tells us who a person is
Or who they strive to be
It tells us of their bondage
And the words that set them free
Some will simply make us smile
While others will make us cry
Some will make us laugh out loud
Or leave us asking why
A poem is more than pen and paper
It's a burden inside our heart
And if we can't set it free
It will tear our world apart
