poetry means privacy where no one can judge me. poetry is me and i am it. poetry gives me confidence i never had poetry is the the tongue that i hold when when they touch on a subject i love to talk about,poetry is the lip i never gave my mother. poetry is my way of expressing every inner feeling with without people ostracizing my every word.my poetry is the best friend i never had, and the lock in diarty my mother never bought me, poetry is the bully i couldnt stand up to and the boy i always had a crush on.Poetry is the conversation of my dreams because although my poems can not respond to me in depth like i may want them to.. they listen, they absorb my every word and they understand what its like to be in my shoes.... my brain...my heart... my soul.. poetry is me and i am it.
