It Saved Me
It saved me
and only a fellow poet
will understand the power
that it gave me.
I breath because
it taught me how to
release the pain
instead of masking
it away. I have a different
way to be free.
Some get high
or drink until they
think they can fly
but I simply write
I continue to push
through all the pain
because poetry saved my life.
