IF IT WASN'T FOR POETRY CONTEST - 1st place
If it was not for poetry,
I would have been lost like a ghost
In the dungeon of loneliness
And prison of being alone.
Where blind hearts are callous and rough,
Poetry gave me a shelter
Against sourness and bitterness
Of minds confined within a box.
Poetry stirs the blood in me
And cheers me up like a wake song
When my heart faints against the storm,
And my lost soul wanders to roam.
Poetry gives me a new home,
Wings and shields, and leaning shoulders,
Morning sunshines and guiding stars,
And a world I can call my own.
If it wasn't for poetry poetry contest
1st place
