Why do we write poems?
Why do we rhyme?
Because in truth,
That is never why our poems shine
We write to forget
Or to express our feelings
Or maybe your reason,
Is to get rid of the words
Your mind keeps repeating
But nevertheless,
Those reasons don't matter
I think the main reason
Is so we can be happier
If you write melancholy poems
It is to release your inner poison
I know how it feels,
Since I am one of them
But if you write happy poems
I suppose I understand.
It's just a little easier writing
When the only thing you're afraid of is hurting your hand
Of course I'm not trying to start
A pointless argument of which one
Has a better method
Of speaking to your heart
Every poem is different just like every poet,
Sometimes it's hard to say what you feel is really true,
But in the end it doesn't matter since the question is actually
What does poetry mean
to you?
