I am not your definition of poetry

Poetry is not picture perfect and no it will not fit into your mold

I’m not a performing seal barking for your applauds

I’m a writer, a creator of truth

I am your conscious screaming to be heard

I am the words you dare not speak

I am the truth you will not face

My name is poetry and I will never be what you want to hear

But truth cannot be ignored

Poetry is not what I do

Words are what I breathe and I decided to come exhale on you

 

Haiku

Battles

Beginning to see
battles are temporary,
love is forever.
