What Is Poetry

What Is Poetry
          I ask myself,is poetry the rhyme of two 
          words or the meaning of the overall poem
          ,the passion in my voice,with the poem of  
            my choice,The mood I feel? Who can tell me? 
            My poetry is a unknwn Mystery

              All these questipns whirling inside my head
              I realize poetry is mre than rhyming of 2 or3
              Words, poetry can be high as the sky 
               Deeper than the ocean or as shallow as a
                concieted person
       
               I live,breathe,poetry my peom have
               passion my peotry can be happy,sad
               ,or tragic MY POEMS IS EVERLASTING
                Poetry lives inside of me its the air I breathe
                I AM POETRY I ANSWERED MY QUESTION FOR         
                ME.
                I WAS BORN A POET THIS IS ME!!

Lonely Person

I'm a lonely person on the inside but instead of showing my feelings I hide. I'm afraid of what people might say so i cry on the inside.Not brave enough to say what i really feel because im afraid people might laugh so I keep my words to my myself and my pain never heals.When people look at me they'll know how I really feel because I cover my pain with a shy smile and a slight laugh.Not brave enough to show the world who I'm really am so afraid what they might think,say,or do.No more from now on I'll be who I want to be no time to be afraid lifes too short.I going to let myself free.You can laugh or say what you want because words dint hurt me at least not anymore.

Love

Love is a four letter word,                                                                                                                            when u feel it,it's like you're stuck in an imgianation,                                                                                   so hard to break away,dont know the right words to say,wondering if you                                                     want to stay,so many different emotions you're ready to run away,than                                                         you think did i just make a mistake,well no,falling in love is like a drug,you cant                                         stay away,you feel used when that person you loved so dearly is now walking away,                                      love is blind and it hurts like hell,life you have to deal with,a broken heart,you cant with-held.
