Poetry saved my life
To ease my mind I need to write
I been with poetry for a while
Maybe since I was a child
If I didn’t have poetry I’d be in trouble
Because writing keeps my anger covered
It has saved me from fights
I can remember that one night
Instead of throwing a punch I decided to write
What a poem that turned into
Poetry saved my life
Just think about the things I could have gotten into
But has poetry sheltered me from too much
Or has it not sheltered me from enough
You can feel the pain through these poems
You can tell my passion is deep for what I do
Poetry saved my life and it can save yours to
If you only gave it a chance
Reading it can enhance your skills
But writing it can soothe your mind
