Poetry

Poetry seems like a cure to me-
Allowing me to devise a stanza of lies and call it fantasy.
It's like my secret ecstasy.
I catch my poetic vibes when no one is next to me.
And willing, I let it take over me with a high,
That is so strong and so wanted,
Leaving me with fulfillment inside.
Because with poetry,
I can manipulate the situation when I write
And take my life's true struggles and sum them up in one night.
Poetry doesn't really make my situations any better,
Instead, it always seems to be the best of the weather.
Because when it's cloudy, poetry's clear.
And when it's dark, my sun is here,
In my pen
And in my heart.
Using my feelings as ink,
I just sit down and I start.

  3. This poem is beautifully written. My favorite line is, "Poetry doesn't really make my situations any better, Instead, it always seems to be the best of the weather." Writing down how you feel at a certain time can help you better understand the situation when you look back and read what you wrote. Its more clear, in this case the skies are clear.
