#14 of Poetry
A person who wished to remain anonymous had asked me on why I write poetry. This is the best way I can explain it.
It's funny how questions can make us think
Even if it is a bit silly at times
I've been asked so many questions
From how to write poetry
As well as personal things as well
One day from out of the blue
An anonymous person had asked me this
With all the things that happened in your life
Why do you write poetry
Why is it so important for people to read it
Is there a reason for it
Because I'm not the only one who's going through this
Who has fought the same battles as I went through.
For those lost in a world of darkness
On where the sun is blocked out by the moon
Day by day
Searching for an answer with no light in sight
Where the pressures of the world
Weigh down the broken hearted
For those who are lost in suicidal thoughts
Listening to the lies
Every waking moment
Losing sleep and their minds
Slowly letting their souls scream on the inside
For those who are stuck in their addictions
Struggling to break the chains
Of the very things that are controlling them
Thinking that there is no way out
No matter how many tears they shed
I want to tell you
That this too shall pass
When you think it's too late to change anything
Don't give up
Fight a little longer
Stand up and look the world in the face
And say I'm not going to take it anymore
And yes it will be hard
There will be times
Where the lies get so intense
You will want to give up
And say screw it
I don't care anymore
For every time you resist
You become an inspiration for those
Who are in the same battle as you are
Transforming into a light
And guiding the broken souls into the light
As for why i write poetry
It's simple
To help people realize that they are not alone
While i can't eliminate the source of the pain
I can help prevent it
And show them the way
So they don't travel the same road i did.
Regardless of the world trying to break me down
There is one thing that I know
And it's true to today.
I'm alive
And if there is one i want to do
Before i pass on
Is to help heal the scars of the broken hearted
To the world you may only be one person
But to one person you may be the world.
