30 Poems in 30 Days
Celebrating National Poetry Month
For 30 days I’ll be doing a writing challenge. Posting a prompt in the morning and a poem at night. Join me in my 30-day writing challenge!
Here’s today’s poem.
Poetry Saved My Life
I fell in love with words long before actions became a thing
These syllables became heartfelt love letters that made passages massive
Learning to contest feelings with powerful parables I descend into myself learning, living, loving
Poetry saved my life, and I fell desperately for her plight
Silently craving affection as my brain burst, the collection of sentences piling up the pain, passion, and happiness I rose from the depths of my insanity with a smile knowing I found solace in something that returned the love I gave it
Each night I learned something new about the beautiful new muse
And watch it dance with me in the night
Combatting each other till we ran out of breath
Alliteration alleviated the exhaustion I felt chasing expectations instead I found rhymes and hymns that gave me more wins than the myriad of women I lay with
Words changed me, separating me from the idea that I couldn’t achieve my dreams
So I call myself a wordsmith
Writing saved me from these feelings that I was worthless
I now have found the beauty in my
Purpose and arrive holistically past the surface of what my potential exerted
Poetry saved my life. And I’ll forever love her for that
