A Poem Is

Where would we be without poetry

We're born with the words trapped inside

They're written from pain we just can't sustain

And sealed with the tears that we've cried

A poem is like a long lost friend

That brings us comfort and peace

The pen understands as it sits in our hands

The words that we have to release

A poem is like a broken heart

Lonely, with no future in sight

We're lost with no choice it gives us our voice

And speaks through the words that we write

A poem is like a love song

Written for the love of your life

Through sickness and health, poverty or wealth

A promise to a husband or wife

A poem is what you make it

When it's written with all of your heart

So let your heart flow and empty your soul

It's always a good place to start
