The Reason I Write Poetry
I write my poetry in store-bought notebooks
With cheap pink pens
And vanilla paper
I write my poetry with ink
So that way my words can never be erased
I write my poetry with my hands
Taking my abstract observations
And rolling them like dice in my head
Until they land on the right number
I write my poetry
To see what cannot be said
To move my mind in such a manner
To understand what cannot be understood
Because
I have this fairy godmother fantasy
To understand th way the world turns
To come up with a written composition
For very unanswerable question
and repeat it everyday in my mind
Even though
There are some things we aren't meant to understand
Some things that people "have" to accept
But I won't
I won't accept that some things don't have answers
I won't accept that this world should be seen in only 1 dimension
And maybe
Just maybe
Someday my poetry wwill have answered those questions.
