the power of writing
poetry
hiding me within the lines -
between the stanzas,
changing me from shy and strange to smug and strong.
poetry
with words saying we love you
as the world is saying we don't.
poetry
fighting to keep me alive,
to keep me true.
poetry
speaking for me -
speaking out in my voice.
poetry
losing my problems and
replacing them with power.
