Poetry taught me to listen to my own tears. Decipher why I felt what I felt. It helped me hold onto myself during my darkest fights with depression.
If you could write a love letter to poetry what would it say? Feel free to write one and leave a link to it in my comment section. I’d love to read it.
You were the words
Bubbling to the surface
The fight inside my bones
The breath I tried to hold
The smile I searched to find
You flowed like electricity
When the darkness came
Rushing to the surface
Feeding me the lines
Helping me to communicate
The S.O.S faithfully typed
From impulse to redemption
The white flag I waved
When I felt like I was sinking
I owe you my life in many ways
But I owe you my gratitude
For you saved me
When I had no idea I needed it

Such a powerful, deep and dark poem.
The challenge is tempting…Although, I did write one but I’m not going to post it yet.
It has love in it but its really sad. I’ll post it next week.
