My Definition of Poetry


It’s a way of coping,

Getting lost in a world of words.

A reason to keep hoping,

And eventually ease the hurts.

It’s an illusion,

You can make your own.

You can’t be the exclusion,

Because this is your throne.

It’s a way out,

From all the pain.

You can choose your own route,

Because it’s your time to reign.
