Poetry Pays It Forward

There's a part in everyone That tells stories just for fun For a laugh or memories But setting emotions free A few selected will use words To have real stories heard Feelings from way inside Building up, no longer hide So on paper they explode Releasing a heavy load From lifetimes of pain and sorrow Words that will be read tomorrow Touching someone for the better Each carefully chosen letter Is placed side by side so gently Creating art so thoughtfully Pictures forming with each line A well planned thought out design Hoping it can find a way To lift someones up today Who is down and really low Needing and inspiration glow To light up a world so dark Searching their eyes soon will lock On a captivating poem Telling them they're not alone Hope and faith are what they need Day by day they will succeed In defeating clouds so dark If a light inside their heat Shines with feelings they can be Sorrow, hurt and pain free Writing troubles far away So that maybe one great day The "words" of art they create Will save someone from the fate Of despair once felt through Someone saved by words of you
