How poetry has helped me


Poetry has taught me much
At times it has been my crutch
It’s helped me open my eyes
And at times has given me a disguise
Poetry has given me an appreciation for life
And has aided me through my strife
I cut ties
While writing about guys
I cried over toxic friends
But poetry helped focused my lens
At times it has been the art of writing
That kept me fighting
