The power of poetry is not to be taken likely. It saved my soul when I felt like I was missing a semblance of purpose in life. Many of you know already poetry is my favorite form of writing and my rough beginnings with writing. However, what you don’t know is how it poked a prodded at me through the years I was dormant. Even when I didn’t read or write, I enjoyed rhyming or “rapping”. Something about it always attracted me to poetry like a moth to flame. The power of poetry helped reel me back to writing’s warm embrace. Without poetry, there would be no publications, social media poetry page, or book. I just hope you all have a hobby or passion that gives you the sensation that writing has given me.
Poetry woke up a sleeping giant
I would like to show you the power of poetry. Not only has it given me drive, but it has helped me cope. I’ll share a poem has holds a lot of deep meaning for me. ‘Please do not feel pity God created me just as I am Please do not feel pity This is all according to plan Please do not feel pity For I am no different from you Society has your thoughts about me skewed I also want a girl to hold and love And to elevate myself to the heavens above Please do not feel pity Everything is how it should be’. The power of poetry is something to behold. I’m just trying to give back as much as it has given me.
