Poetry Lives In Me

It lives deep down in my soul, my heart, makes my body shiver and drives me 
insane....
and the real reason it lives in me because it understands 
my past pains... 

I go crazy when I hear it, cry because I can feel it and
it neglects me from every negative or positive thing 
it keeps me silent and aware of everything and hides me away from 
the rain...

It keeps me warm in the winter and it helps my heart beat full
of life...
it cools me in the summer time and waters me like a flower with a ray 
of sun light...   

It picks me up when I am so far down, it observes 
my surroundings and it excites me when I'm sad...
it takes me  to another place, remembers that I mean something
and take my bad days and turn them into yesterdays …

Poetry is my earth, wind, and fire, my desire, my love song, my lullaby
My winter, summer, spring and fall…
Poetry lives in me that’s why I give it my best and my 
all…
