Poetry Is?


Poetry is a matter of life and death to some,

​Poetry is like breathing it is essential for the living,

Poetry is about expressing your thoughts,

Poetry is as important as death,

Poetry is as pointless as life,

Poetry means that you are capable to find

your voice and use it.

Poetry is a way to survive.

Or at least it is for me the more poetry I write the more control I have over my depression.

This is the pathway I chose to speak up about suicide instead of inflicting it upon myself.
