dear poetry

you strengthen my power to love 

you establish a relationship for my dreams and my reality 

a connection so strong that they are one

your flexibility and variety has made my differences turn into motivations and not obstacles

your silent speech during our therapeutic sessions lifts me out of the darkness and reveals that i matter

it took just a pen, some paper, and my heart to unravel myself to you 

you've made the impossible simple and the imaginary real

you've taught me the bittersweetness of the world but also how one can sweeten their experience

you've rebirthed me and allowed me to live a new life

a better life where i am free

a life where you are my guiltiest pleasure
