What Poetry Means

What Poetry Means

A Poem by therisa

If
You are looking
For someone
Who will sing
False praise
To you.
 
I am
Not that type
Of person.
 
Please
I ask you
To look
Somewhere else.
 
Because
Poetry is meant
As an expression
Of one's heartbeat
In it's purest form.
 
Where
One is
Either expressing
Their deepest pain
Or their greatest love.
 
For
All carry
Equal weight
With me.
