I used to think poetry was corny

I used to think poetry was corny 

Rhyming words, lame boys used to impress girls I suppose 

I Only knew poetry from movies 

Or my ninth grade teachers lessons on Shakespeare and prose 

I thought it was somehow silly 

to put words from my heart and then share them left exposed 

I used to think poetry was corny 

until I tried it and something  in me blossomed arose 

Now guess who is into poetry 

no need for comfy couches and doctors with pads

i let it poor out like therapy 

I feel it i write it I say it and that’s that’s 

i found a voice that’s care free

you don’t like it who cares too  bad 

I used to think poetry was corny 

But it saves when The world gets too sad
