Poetry saved my life
Through my darkest days, poetry was there
I remember writing poetry when I was scared
People treated me like I didn't belong here
I remember asking myself "why is life unfair"?
I thought about running away
Because I knew nobody would care
Poetry taught me how to be strong
Poetry taught me how to let go of the pain
I wrote down things that made me laugh
I wrote down things that made me cry
But through it all
Poetry saved my life
This poem is about:
Me
Our world
