What Poetry Means to Me

What is poetry to me

Poetry became my escape from reality

No more pretending of who I am

When writing poetry I become the woman I want to be

Poetry helps me vent my problems

It's always there for me

Poetry is my first love

Without it I would be a lost woman

It keeps me sane

It helps me understand things better

I can express myself without the fear of judgement

So what does poetry mean to me

It means I can be free

And I can express myself freely
