My ears have engulfed more poetry than they've heard music.
They hear the beat in the words not the rhythm in the beat.
The words you write play a melody in my head before they are even read.
My eyes see poetry as a world waiting to be explored.
My eyes see words and read the beat.
Without poetry my mind is set ablaze.
My thoughts engulf me to the point I no longer feel without poetry.
Poetry keeps me sane.
Because poetry is a beat needing to be played.
