True Meaning of Poetry


It's my heart,
my voice,
my poetry.

While words are too simple,
poetry speaks for me.

While stories are too fictional,
poetry speaks for me.

It expresses feelings,
it makes me feel free,
for the poems I write,
who knows if it's true?

Regardless of the truth,
poems evoke feelings,
which I consider genuine,
regardless if it's the truth.
