Why Do I?
In a world where my words may fail,
Poetry becomes my voice, my tale.
When my feelings are hard to express,
Through poetry, I find peace, no less.
A comforting refuge, like food or a game,
Poetry becomes my comfort, my flame.
It's where I find relief, where I am free,
To express myself, to just be me.
To me, poetry is everything,
A language that sets my spirit free.
It's a canvas where I paint my soul,
A way to speak when words won’t come out.
Sometimes I’m unsure, of what to write about,
Yet the words flow, like a beautiful mess.
Like a river, that carries my thoughts within,
Expressing the words I've always wanted to begin.
So I let my pen dance, I let my heart sing,
I Embrace the power that my writing can bring.
In the realm of words, I find every time,
A voice that's mine, one of a kind.
A language that transcends, a journey without end.
It's a symphony of my emotions, a canvas to portray,
Where my words find their place, every single day.
In this world of words, I always find,
A sanctuary of expression, forever kind.
