What Does Poetry Mean To You

My life in my poetry to reveal, depression and the odd happy moment, beautiful love, and pains that need to heal, past stills, dark days and anger, I need to vent. My life, the direction, sadness, pain, love, happiness, for the future to learn from past mistakes, penned to consume, not judge but read in fairness, my end to leave a legacy at all stakes. 10/24/2016 Sponsor - Alexis Y.

I think you have it covered nicely there. Poetry is who we are, the poets, inside and out. Really nice.
