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
