How to be free


How to be free, that is what poetry has taught me. 
To let go of all the pain, and let the words drip through my veins.
Poetry has given me a voice, it allows me to comprehend the lonesome thoughts that
go on inside of my head. 
 
 
I understand the different points of views. 
The different perspectives, that are so easily shunned around the world
The fragile souls that have, Oh, so much to say!
Instead, they write and write until the end of time. 
 
 
I can hear the thoughts inside of my head. 
The heartbreak, happiness, and utter joy that is conveyed. 
Hoping for someone to hear them and relate.
Poetry gives everyone a voice. 
 
 
Poetry has taught me how to feel, how to understand.
When to know what goes on around those who have no voice. 
Poetry has opened up my eyes.
I can now see things that were not there before.

<p>Remember to practice spacing out your words when typing them out, and to pay attention to proper comma usage and grammer. Great read, though!</p>
