Poetry
Was always there
Whether the darkness was
Or wasn’t
Whether family was
Or wasn't
Poetry
Provides a light
To scare the darkness away
Or it drapes me in a blanket
Of black
And we scoot close
In the dark
Together
And I feel less
Alone
Sometimes I feel things
I don’t know how to say
But poetry can say it for me
It can tell others for me
It can give me the words
I don’t have
When I write
I open the bottle
That I have shut tight
And will not open for others
I will spill it on the page
And paint the contents
For all to see
And they will know
It’s beautiful
