"Why poetry?" they ask
"Why not?" I say
Its the only way to keep those dark memories away
I write every chance I get
It feels like me and my words are singing a duet
It humors me to know that 26 letters put together
Can make a girl like me feel so much better
How happy it makes me not to feel powerless anymore
There is a strong bond with these words that I have came to love and adore
Something that I made
My work of art
And as long as these words come from me
We will never drift apart
