poetry has taught me

Poetry has taught me how to fly

taught me how to be me

taught me how to breathe freely

never to worry about judgment 

to only feel and think

Poetry has taught me how to fly 

to soar higher than the clouds

to be creative and

explain my feelings

to the fullest detail

the here and now

Poetry has taught me how to fly

and to dig deeper inside

for the words for the rhythm

and for the flow
