My Safe Haven

Fri, 07/08/2016 - 21:54 -- Lyrixx

To have a free mind.
To Not have to worry about the right body shape, right hair texture, the perfect boy, the outstanding test scores, the beneficial political leader, the next gunman entering the room, the next person to make you feel inferior..
To have a voice in the ignorance of the "in crowd".
To release pain from a broken heart.
To truly express a deeper feeling inside.
Not having to someone voice their opinions on your words or ideas.
To have that inner voice say ,"That was beautiful, baby girl".
That's where poetry steps in.
That's why I write.
In acceptance of myself.
Months ago I've fallen,
fallen into a deep depression of not being good enough, not being noticed or important, of not being heard.
Searching high to the heavens for answers.
Seeking low from the wrong crowd.
Til, I finally found my golden answer.
She helps me escape the harsh reality of a greedy world and growing up.
Helped me grow mentaly.
She is my voice.
She is my safe haven.
Her name?
Poetry.
My heart; complete and free.
So why not write?
