Poetry saved me
Poetry saved me for many reasons
She even got me through the roughest seasons
She saved me from suicide
Even when I couldn't see past my foolish pride, that almost led to my demise
She met me with such a warm embrace, an embrace that truly changed my pace
An embrace that helped me grow into what I am
She embraced me and lead me to a new path
Which eventually led me to Virginia State University and led me to even learn new math.
Poetry let me know she was my safe place
Even when I felt so low
She let me know, even from the concrete a flower could grow
This poem is about:
