Poetry can be used for a lot of things. My single favorite thing poetry is used for is expression. Honestly, I don’t feel like I am a good poet. I am fine with this. I don’t write poetry because I feel it will change the world. I write poetry because in that small stint in time, it makes me feel free. Every time I have written a poem, no matter how bad it was, I have felt some sort of relief. Poetry can be a way for you to release things. The poem I have shared here is obviously a form of expression. She mentions her anxiety in this poem and that makes me extremely proud of her. This girl is visually shaken as she recites the words that define her troubles. This girl hurts and it is obvious, but she was brave enough to tell her story. I really enjoyed this poem. I enjoyed it not because I think it was the best poem I have ever heard, I enjoyed it because it was real. Tell me what you think about this poem. Have you ever written an expressive poem? If you feel comfortable, share it with us!
