why poetry

I am not the best

Nor will i ever be

but when it comes to writing poems

That does not matter to me

I write for me and noone else

I write to get through things

From winning to losing

From happy to sad

These poems will always be with me

I am not profound in skill

Or amazing with the pen

But this hobby is something that helps me chill

And it comes from deep within

This hobby was my release

When my family passed away

It stayed with me when people couldn't

Never ever to sway

This hobby was my release

When happiness struck as well

Beauce writing never leaves you

Even when you are smiling

and everything's going swell

This hobby is my love

However writing is not my trade

How i wish i was profound and bold

Yet all i am is amazed

Amazed at the wonders of writing

At the way words transform

Amazed at the things you can experience

From the comforts of your dorm

Writing is truly a gift

Poems are simply the wrapping

When opened up and looked inside

The results can be quite baffling

That is why i try to write

I try to think it through

For one day i might produce something

That is quite baffling too
