P o e t r y 

scoffed at, the art of writing 

something boring and something old 

not to me 

P o e t r y 

lets me breathe in and exhale

relax, until my next attack 

my armor 

P o e t r y 

opens my eyes to issues 

also breaks my heart for others 

together 

P o e t r y 

wraps me in like a warm hug 

communicates my deepest thoughts

open book 

P o e t r y 

makes the world around me change 

connecting people all over 

teaching me 

P o e t r y 

taught me how to speak up and 

not be trapped inside the darkness

has freed me 

P o e t r y 

for the mind and the soul too 

for you and me and me and you 

for us all
