Poetry, Thank You

You don't write with your hands

You write with your heart

The emotions you put in it

That's what makes it art

I transfer my emotions onto paper

Until they vanish into thin air like vapor

Writing helps me deal 

With these harsh emotions I feel

Poetry is my drug

I keep on coming back for more

Its a necessity, like a repetitive chore 

I have great friends

I know they're there for me till the end

But my mightiest weapon is to

And that my friends is this pen

I carry a pen with me at all times

Just in case things get out of line

It keeps me sane, keeps me in check

A simple pen, keeps my life from becoming a wreck

That's why I wanna be a writer

Because I owe so much to poetry

I have great people in my life

But poetry has done the most for me
