Poetry Saving Me
Through darker days and darker ways
if you could look you'd see.
Through a darker time and words of rhyme
there's poetry saving me.
Taking me and breaking me
at times I needed broken.
Bending me and mending me
words written now are spoken.
Troubles that once came my way
nowhere in my control.
Like a hero in some movie
poetry blessed my soul.
The rest of me the best of me
forgotten once neglected.
Deep inside I cannot hide
what poetry protected.
The part of me the heart of me
so tested over time.
Freeing me for being me
the words I find that rhyme.
Through darker days I lost my way
there were dreams not meant to be.
Still today I'm pleased to say
there's poetry saving me.
