Why I Write Poetry
Poetry is putting emotions down in verse
Good for those that cannot converse
I don't think I'm very good
But it keeps me out of the lonely wood
The lonely wood is a very sad place
The gremlins and ghouls change your face
It's dark and dank very austere
Poetry is my voice I hope you hear
I write my poems they lead me away
From the woods its a bad place to play
The dark and smell gets into your mind
You can't see your going blind
Writing let's me see the light
Helps me to feel alright
I know it's only a small fix
Better than surrounded by sticks
So when I hurt or don't understand
A pen and paper comes to hand
It helps me see what I need to do
Pulls me out of feeling so blue
It may not work for everyone
Some listen to their favorite song
But this poetry thing for me
Clears all of my aniexty
Yes some may say it's in the mind
Solutions to help are hard to find
This is the one that I find best
Gets all the hurt off my chest
So when you don't know where to turn
Keep out of them woods or you will burn
Find your release in your safe place
Help you put the smile on your face
Believe in your own self is a must
Otherwise you'll end up like dust
No one deserves to feel like that
Conquer those demons bury that hat
Feel free to say whatever is on the mind
To yourself try to be kind
Don't let it beat you up anymore
It's your _LIFE_ not a chore
I hope this helps someone out there
Because people are people some do care
If it has feel free to say
Let other know what's you way
