My Poetry (Deepest Passion)

My poetry...It comes from my heart and keeps me sane.
     Like a canvas of art, I use it to relieve the pain.
My poetry...It is 100% all me, and it keeps me alive.
     Like the love of my family, I need it to survive!
My poetry...It comes from my core, like a babe being born.
     My words open unknown doors, and at times I'm poked by thorns!
My poetry...Takes the hurt inside, and relieves me of the stress.
     The thoughts of suicide, I seem to abandon with such success.
My poetry...Is like a breath of fresh air, and the stanzas relieve the pollution.
     The couplets are like a prayer, and that is my best solution!
My poetry...Tell of the heartaches in my life, and the children I love so.
     My poems can cut like a knife, when I pull back the shade of the poetic window!
My poetry...It would be my end, and my life would be crashin.
     Not having my poetry would be a sin, for it's my deepest passion!!
