Poetry is more than just words on paper

July 16, 2013

The words fill the blank page

while tears and sweat leave me

while the sorrow and pain is no longer physical

it falls onto the paper below

memories are brought with each word written

they may just be words to the naked eye

but if you look closely

ou may notice there is blood in that ink

<p>I wrote this from the heart, I wrote this because poetry means everything to me. It explains who I am in the deepest way.</p>
