All I Can Do
Location
No one ever told me
about poetry.
The way the words create,
shifting and changing
their meaning with
every reading.
Giving emotion, beauty,
and symmetry
with every line.
Equal parts pain,
happiness, and words
ripped from the bosom
of their writer.
And with every stanza
a different feeling,
welling up inside me,
begging to break free.
But I cannot let that
emotion go
so easily.
All I can do is
try
to give it to you
and hope
you feel it, too.
