poetry?

For me, poetry isn't always about beautiful words. Poetry is a way to let go of what's inside my head into sentences or paragraphs. Poetry is a way to express myself. If I'm mad at the world, then I'll have no problem putting words like "shit" or "fuck" in my poetry. If I'm happy maybe I'll write with words like "rainbow" or "flower". And if I am in love, maybe my words will make no sense at all. Maybe my words will be cheesy and cliché.

That's the beauty of poetry I guess. It doesn't have to be beautiful or well-written. It is poetry when it can express what you feel in a way action can't. It is poetry because it has so many hidden emotions; anger, happiness, love, sadness and so much more. And poetry doesn't even have to make sense at all.
