My definition of a poem goes beyond this dictionary definition
And views a poem as a legible experience
My definition of a poem goes beyond the physical word
And proves life to be various
I learned that I am not alone
When it comes to mental struggles
That I am not strange
When my mind starts to juggle
Created by people for people
A platform for all our feelings
In a world that silences our mental health
We can finally yell for healing
Come smell the flowers, feel the breeze
Running through your hair as thoughts run through your mind
Close your eyes, take a second
To leave it all behind
A piece of art, according to my definition
That partakes of the nature of both life and words, according to my definition
That is written freely, according to my definiton
And often exhibits such emotional elements from the world, according to my defintion
