What is Poetry?
Is it always having to rhyme,
To keep lines in boundaries,
And not completely saying it all.

What is Poetry?
A safe place to pour out your feelings,
A vent escape on paper,
And words to describe them.

What is Poetry?
A culture from generations,
A muse for the poet,
To see how far we've written.

Just to be recognised from all that pain,
To be saved from your own mind.

Deep hidden meanings in simple words,
Etched in darker thoughts,
Or maybe hope fleeting away.

A key to my heart, A door to my mind,
A place no one shall enter,
Kept away in solace.

A discussion ongoing with yourself,
It is one-sided.

Writing a raw first draft that's never published,
Or keeping it so real it's all understood,
But it's impeccable, imperfectly perfect.

A beautiful craft of creation,
Resonating impossible connections,
It is art in the eyes of the poet.

I don't know but i write poems,
They help me express all those emotions,
But at the end of the day I'm just a poet,
I'd never be a poem in anyone's view...

So Alas, What is Poetry?
