In a world full of hate,

I turned to written words

and filled pages with love.

In a world full of sorrow,

I wrote about all beauty

and what was left was joy.

In a world full of politics,

I swore to express the truth

and heard the grateful responses.

In a world such as this,

I must turn to poetry

and find all things that are good

to survive in a word such as ours.
