"Why I Write" Poetry Sonnet

Poetry gives me the sense of living Like the blood in my heart bustling through The light that relieves me from darkening The sanctuary that I always knew I write, for it defines the real me It personifies the stages in life It accentuates certain catastrophes That show boundless and fluctuating strife I write to expose hardship in this land To acknowledge the people that suffer To show that we are strong and able to withstand To unfold that poetry will relief pain and help it buffer I write, for it is the light that guides through the road It should be expressed because it is a gift that has been bestowed
