Penspiration

Each word and every line Represents me at some point in time Every heartbreak and times to think Have all been recorded in separate colors of ink When razor blades were once my best friend I learned to let go and confide in a pen When pill bottles opened for me like passage doors Lines on thin paper told me "No more" Through trial and error and plenty of tears Were poems and pages full of words and smears Through my laughter and glories Came more paper and stories These lines have seen me when I'm broken And let my hand glide for all that was unspoken Poetry was my savior Through blood shed and pain in my heart It always gave me a fresh page with a need to start I know there's always room to improve I know that it won't always cause mountains to move But poetry is where I can be raw Where I can be free Poetry is where I can finally be me.
