Poetry Keeps Me Safe

The pages in my book

Keep my poetry safe and sound

The folded tops or the torn out pages

Holds emotions the size of the seas

My friends are goddesses

Warriors Making humanely decisions

So when I write about them

I make sure to get all the details right

In a way, I can never forget what they taught me.

We are a generation of broken souls

To broken to mend ours,

To willing to save theirs.

We are confused children

Still figuring out what life is.

Still struggling with love

Confused with the concept of self-love.

My thoughts and poems 

Keeps me company when I'm alone

We talk about all the love and hate in this world.

The love, we don't get and the hate we don't deserve.

So I look up and think

That one day I'll find a place

With my own peace and family within

All those family I have, and all those I've created.

And we'll stay there because

We are too broken for this world

Healed too many times.

Broked more than it.

The pages in my book don't always keep the poetry safe.

It keeps me safe.
