Writing a poem takes time, it takes away the time you have to verbally share the words you have within you with someone who you can actually talk to. Poems are better in the sense that you won't be judged immediately by anyone that isnt yourself. A poem will be who you are, you are the writer and you understand yourself, you understand yourself when nobody else will and when everyone is saying you are delusional and to just get over it your poem actually understands you. Your poem won't tell you that its just a phase, it also will not make you feel like you need to hold it all in, so find your inner poem and release
