Poetry: it’s the annihilation of discouragement The projection of your inner self It is my nourishment, my self-expression, My correlation of constellations between your sky and mine. We thrive on its beat Like the very air that we breathe. it is what keeps us from defeat, gives us the strength to stand on our feet. It enlightens us! With the beauty of a magnificent spark With light through the dark! It is the glisten in your eyes, it is the glare of despise, It is eternal hope in disguise, Let it free! Let it rise! Let it see… That this world…is much more than a prize It is the beauty within our cries. It is the beauty found in the skies So don’t hide in disguise any longer! Make the ties intertwine your eyes with mine. Hear the pleas, see the sighs. For the sake of our world… Describe poetry… Inscribe poetry… With your very own cries. Make it yours, just as it is... mine.
