Figuring out

Now tell me

What is poetry really?

Just mere words stuck together

Expressing the thoughts better?

Or just a wistful reach out

Carrying the wounds from a fall out

Is it just sad and boring

Or does it have to be vague and thrilling

Sorrow? Mostly.

Romance? Maybe.

But why do the words have such power?

To flow

To sting

To exhilarate

But also to make you delusional

That all these immense feelings

Are here to likely stay

That reading all of this

Would make as much sense

As writing this just did

As if its not all a facade

A spur of a moment

Just a way around words

To make it a bit less shabby

Or maybe,

Just a tool to get high on hurt
