Poet-ry


Poetry is the symmetry in words and emotions.

It's the embodiment of a feeling,

the representation of the heart.

When people fail, poetry prevails.

 

Poetry forces you to think. 

To think what got you to Your brink?

The Rim of Lonliness

The Edge of Suffering

The Verge of Ecstasy

Or the Point of Freedom.

 

It's the self empowerment that encourages young girls,

the emotional release that overts self-harm. 

The ultimate shapeshifter that conforms into whatever

YOU need it to be. 

Poetry impersonates the poet.

That's poetry
