Writer's Whispers

Poetry's Beauties

There are some things

That only poets will experience.

The joys of birthing the solution

To a problem through writing a poem.

The light bulb moment

Where something only starts to make sense

When you write about it.

The guilt that grips your heart

After you've completed a hate poem...

A hate poem about someone you dearly love.

The discomforting feeling you get

As you reveal more secrets

In the verses of your poems -

Because you start to feel bare,

Feel like you're stripping yourself

Feel like you're giving away something precious

For the sake of the art.

And so you tell yourself

That someone else will benefit from reading it... So it's fine.

You tell yourself it could make a soul

Feel less lonely.

Make a soul laugh.

Make a soul smile.

Make a soul feel inspired.

So you keep on stripping:

Insecurities, mistakes, regrets, flaws

You put them all on display...

And you make what you hate

The very most about yourself

Look beautiful -

Because poetry, is always beautiful.
