Poetry is my teacher

She knows me inside out

 

Poetry bore my soul

She tore my heart right out

 

Poetry scoffs bitterly

For I am such a fool

 

She shakes her haughty head

For constantly I fall

 

My life is full of dark twists

My future ever so bleak

 

My heart bleeds emotions

Drowning me below grief

 

My stupidity dooms me

When will I get a clue

 

Finally I give in

My common sense flies in

 

I let Poetry sooth me

She directs my heart stream

 

My mind empties its steam

As She calms my dark storm

 

It is Poetry who teaches

She teaches me about myself
