What is poetry?
Poetry is the words
The words I can't say
The words I just don't speak
They won't come out
But the paper and pen
They see the words
The ink will stain my skin
The way the words
They stain my heart
They stain my soul
They are my entire being
Sometimes my laptop screen
Sees the words I type
Fingers fly across the keyboard
Quick to jot everything down
Miss spelled words
Incoherent thoughts
Jumbled sentences
It was that one poem
It started it all
One poem became another one
They didn't stop after
They come naturally
The words speak so clearly
Everything makes sense
Even if only for a second
This is poetry
