Poetry is Mine
Some think in paragraphs
Some think in words
I think in poetry
I didn't become a poet
I didn't study to become one
I was born one
Poetry are words with meaning
Words of value
Words that I need to express
I've lived around empty, meaningless words
I see Poetry as an escape
Where every word has meaning
Meaning. Reason. Purpose.
Poetry has wisdom
Poetry is how I learned to live
I remember grade school
My teacher of English
Teaching us poetry
I remember seeing my peers
Looking at me in envy
As I wrote quickly
While they struggled
I remember getting bullied
I remember crying
I remember darkness
I remember writing poetry
I continue to write poetry
It's my escape from this world
It's my freedom in the world of oppression
It's mine own work
I live in a world where nothing is mine
Nothing except my work
My thinking, my reason
Poetry is my work
Poetry is mine
