Reasons why I love Poetry

When a heart seem to be so lifeless

The eyes would come to rescue,

Lacrimal Apparatus would be stimulated

As tears would suddenly roll.

If the outworn eyes's done,

and the heart couldn't just be healed,

Poetry would then come and help..

Poetry as my third line of defense,

It lets me grab a paper and a pen

and makes me start writing and rhyming

About mere dramas, mere melancholies.

It unleashed the mask attached on my face

Even if i'm childish, emotional, and shallow,

Poetry always understands and still accepts me.

It simply lets me burst out my contempt feelings

It doesn't tease me yet it respects me

Every word, every smile and every teardrop,

Poetry never disregard them, 

instead, it even acknowledges them

Poetry respects me as who I am and what I am.

It doesn't disrespects this nightmare package I got.

With it, I feel like I'm not left

from the dark areas of the world.

Then when my heart is gradually healing

and my dried eyes are becoming finer,

In the end, I found poetry as my last defense mechanism,

I found myself restored by POETRY.
