If it wasnt for Poetry

If it wasn't for Poetry 
Where would I be? 

I would still be here, but, 
Not who I am today! 

Poetry made a way for me to connect,
with the one inside that has so much to give.

Poetry is my voice when I need to scream or laugh.
When fury beats from the inside or love swoons into flight. 
The, me that I really am, the one I am created to be. 

If it wasn't for Poetry 
I wouldn't have a way to truly praise God, the one who created the words
for me to say about deep things or just things of the day. 

If there wasn't Poetry 
I would not have known 
I have a voice! 

If there wasn't Poetry 
I would be locked up, in a prison of words.
I need there to be Poetry.

Silent One December 5, 2023 at 8:32 AM Poetry is the perfect catharsis and helps us to talk about things our tongue refuses to do so.. Thank you for taking part in the contest and congratulations on your first place. Chantelle Smith December 5, 2023 at 8:58 AM Hi There, I agree with your thoughts. Poetry is a way for us to be able to speak anytime. Thank you so much :)
