Poet at a Glance

Looking back on the years when I wrote the most it was love, loss, and sadness that inspired me to take what I felt and put it on paper. Many times saying what you feel is the most difficult task to do when face to face with someone. The ability to express what you have bottled up can be expressed so beautifully and eloquently in writing whether it be a poem or journal entry. Poetry at it's best is being able to put on paper what you would say face to face to someone if you let your guard down and spoke from the heart knowing no one will pass judgement on you. Knowing that at the end of your message you would feel as if a huge weight was lifted off of you. Knowing that regardless of what the message is you are trying to express at the end of it all you would go back to being able to breathe; being able to be you regardless of the outcome.
