Inbetween

April 24, 2018

When teachers say it time to learn about poems, the students begin to moan and groan.

I was guilty, but as we got more into learning about poems, I realized poems were more of an art.

I find art a way to express myself.

Other people may see poems just as a lame paper with black ink with people talking about their feelings.

People need to read deeper into the words an line to have a better understanding of the other person's feelings.

People should also understand that there is nothing wrong with expressing their emotions.

It's just things that are deeper that take more time to understand.

Other people may see that poems are worthless.

I see them as a way to escape, escape the world of judgement and find the people who are there to listen.

Well more like read.
