What Poetry is to Me

Poetry to me is raw, emotive force.

Poetry gives voice to my heart when I don't understand what my heart is saying.

Poetry clarifies in my mind that which I cannot grasp.

Poetry isn't for you - it's for me. If I write poetry to please my audience, it tames my humanity.

Poetry for me is true vulnerability - You cannot simply read my words, but you rather take away a part of me.

Poetry is where I don't feel the need to be perfect or accepted.

Poetry is where I escape my bravado and am left with myself and the world, broken or beautiful as I truly see it.

Poetry is healing to me, often.

This is what poetry is to me.
