Coming of Age and After

Poetry

The humanizing language.

The human experience.

We sing.

We dance.

We read poetry.

I have a folder

Full of discarded words on my phone.

My thoughts did not deserve a valid space in my teens.

For fear of being like the other late teens that write

Poetry.

I sing.

I dance.

I write poetry for points towards my future,

But maybe one day I will find the joy.
