Why Do You Write Poems When Your Mind is Battered By The World?
Why do you write poems when your mind is battered by the world?
It is an escape
into my thoughts
pushing the cacophony of life away
for a mere hour or so
allowing me to hear my inner whisper
giving it space to louden
and reacquaint myself with me.
Why do you write poems when your mind is battered by the world?
As each word is handwritten on the page
my emotions gain a place to live.
Anger, hurt, confusion,
worry and exhaustion,
turn a whirlpool over the page
accepting the thoughts I would never share aloud.
Why do you write poems when your mind is battered by the world?
It releases angst
transforming it to creativity,
opening heart and mind
to view this world beyond our humanness.
scribing what could come to be.
