Shattered Thoughts

What is P O E T R Y

Poetry is heart break. 

Poetry is pain and love and hard decisions. 

Poetry is the thing that kills without regret and makes you feel utterly alone. 

Poetry is heart. 

Poetry is soul. 

Poetry is every bit of darkness you have inside of you. 

Poetry is every insult, break up, and suicide attempt. 

Poetry is every bad thought you've ever had. 

Poetry is that monster under your bed and the scars up your wrist. 

Poetry is pain. 

But it is also love and hugs and kisses. 

Also every compliment you have ever had and every moment of pleasure you have ever experienced. 

Poetry is the wars that take place in your mind.

The unrelenting chain of decisions to be made in life.

But also the greatest things you will ever do.

Poetry is endless. 

But it also lives in everyone. 

It is not a thing to be owned. 

But to be cherished. 

One day it will be gone and we will only be left with the broken words from the broken people of the past.
