My Inner Voice
When life weighs heavily
upon my heart,
and time threatens to tear it apart:
I turn to poetry:
more specifically, my poetry.
I feel emotionally linked
to my pen:
and as my thoughts flow onto the paper,
they're absorbed into the fibers
between the lines and verses of each poem.
Poetry is my candle in the dark;
fueled by my muse:
its flame burns brightly in my mind.
Poems amplify my inner voice
and anchor my words to reality;
exposing my secretive self,
through thoughts tethered to my soul.
Poetry is like a mind-meld,
between the poet and the reader.
A wordsmith, I forge words to inflame the heart;
stroke the ego, purge pain, comfort grief
and appease the soul.
Poetry allows for feelings
to be openly shared,
providing an emotional catharsis;
that must be experienced,
to be appreciated.
There is nothing else like it!
