A Whole New World


sad times are hard
 
comfort is needed
 
we wish for that soft pillow to cry into
 
for that strong shoulder 
 
 
paper can be your pillow
 
pen can be your shoulder 
 
 
we read to understand
 
to hope one feels the way we do
 
opening a book to get assurance
 
that we are not alone
 
 
words can be a loving mother
 
sentence can be a concerned father
 
 
getting lost in a whole new world
 
can create such a great escape
 
the mind wanders into creation
 
that is beyond what's known
 
 
authors can give us hope
 
poets can give us strength 
 
 
helping people means a lot
 
just with the stroke of a pen
 
or the typing in a keyboard
 
experiences are powerful 
 
 
connecting can give us insight
 
bonding can show us truth 
 
 
express emotions on that piece of paper
 
type all your thoughts in that note folder
 
share your innermost feelings
 
let out all that confusion
 
 
poetry is an outlet
 
that I chose to take
