Poetry Is
Its the light at the end of the tunnel,
the weight off of my shoulders,
it says what couldn't be spoken.
Its the opening of a cage,
the releasing of a thought,
the pattern of silence is broken.
Its a peep into the mind
of an introspective, outspoken
teen who just likes to write.
Its the insight into a language,
quite abstract, just unnatural,
from the usual verses that fly by night.
Its the opening of doors,
the realization of life,
a whirlwind of opportunity.
Expressing the unexpressed,
revealing the hidden,
high above scrutiny.
Poetry is saying what cannot be said,
yet speaking anyway.
Writing words to change the world,
I wouldn't give it up any day.
