Poetry

How can one dislike poetry without sounding like a pessimist?

I guess it’s this idea that every word must be repetitive

But it’s a way of self reflection, suppressing urge and nervousness

To write when it’s not a competition

A poem doesn’t have to be so sad and deep to gather one’s attention

I can be apathetic and sound poetic when it’s really just my voice projection 

The use of analogies will profoundly improve or cause confusion to their intellect and

I can spit out thoughts that can blow you away before it ever hits the fan

And expand your attention span without a doubt that my message won’t get across

Poems are like crying and laughing: you get caught up in the moment and then it becomes sort of distracting

As the pen moves swiftly while your mind’s drifting and it’s impossible to become detached

I love how poems aren’t about facts, they’re more so making sense out of the things

That sit abyss in our heads while we continue feeling dreadful

Yet some say poetry is hard, like starting a car without knowing where to go

But the amazing aspect of it is that you paint your own road

And pave the way to greatness without paying a toll

See the air is free, yet somehow it is becoming more dangerous to breathe 

Yet with ease my pupils dilate as I read 

The things that can’t escape our heads and somehow are translated into words

Poetry is just a blurred reality which I, for one prefer
