Beauty of Poetry

Beauty of Poetry

The beauty of poetry
Allows me to draw
Out the most intimate
Emotions
Both on the
Valleys and mountaintops

It allows me to accurately
Paint pictures with
The most vivid colors
I can find
Words
This is exactly how
I feel
And with the
Right choices
You'll feel exactly
The same

Poetry presents emotions
That are found in
The little black book
Hidden beneath your mattress
It says what you'd
Want to scream at your enemy

It reveals everything you'd
Want to whisper in
Your lovers ear

Poetry is
The revelation of
Everything you've
Ever wanted to say,
Said, and everything
You've regretted saying.

Poetry is who you are now,
What you were before,
And how you see yourself
In the future.

Poetry allows one person
To stand on the world stage
Naked
And ask others to
Begin to peel away their
Social layers
Until we find what
Makes us
Human.
