what poetry has taught me

poetry has taught me that it's okay to be open

poetry has shown me that it's okay to be broken

poetry has proven to me that it's good to be outspoken

poetry has held me when my eyes were swollen

poetry has told me that it's not good to hide emotions

poetry has been nothing but loving and golden

poetry has wiped my tears when my heart was stolen

poetry has given me air when i was choking

poetry has been here for me during every moment

poetry has kept me alive and hoping

poetry has never left me when i'm scared, frozen

poetry has enwrapped me like the ocean

poetry has always been my way of coping

poetry has been the one thing i've always chosen

poetry is my devotion
