Depth


Poetry has taught me many things

About myself.

Between the pauses and line breaks,

I have learned the things that make me weak.

Poetry for me lacks structure,

And that makes me feel calm.

The word vomit allows me to think,

allows me to breathe.

The flow of nonsense keeps my thoughts

Organized and categorized.

Poetry is a therapist.

Poetry is the mind's file cabinet.
