what poetry means - my last words

I know that I haven't posted this months, my brain has been turned off for a month now. I'm sure that this won't make up for my grade but i just want to share with you what poetry means to me.

high school sucks. There is no way around it, life as a teenager is awful and hard. There are teacher and parents asking you to be better, peer pressure, bullies, new friends showing up, old friends leaving, your heart getting broken for the first time. Everything is stressful and annoying. some people have no way of releasing the feelings they have. I was like that. Quiet and kept to myself. It was taking its toll on me and life got harder because of it.

Then I found my old poetry books and read them. After i read them i got inspired. i started to write poetry about all my feeling and the things i had been through. It was relieving to say the least. After i was done i felt like i could breathe again and the sun shined a little brighter. Ever since then, that is where all my thoughts and feelings went, into my writing.
So to me, poetry isn't just words that rhyme or fancy letters on a page. to me poetry is an outlet, a relief, a way to express myself. With poetry my problems are gone and my world is happier.
