It's a way of life for me

Poetry isn't just a class assignment

It's a way to express

the feelings of love, lost, or confidement

It's a way to smile

at all rhymes and funny sayings

It's a way to my life

I use it to escape reality and beings

It's a way to relax

the muscles worn from the day

It's a way to cry

all the worries that get in my way

It's a way to hide

the darkest parts of my soul

It's a way to live

even if it takes it's toil

It's a way to remember

all the poeple past and gone

It's a way to see

Life and how to move on

It's a way to go

to the future, to my freedom

Poetry isn't just a something to do

It's a way of life for me
