When life is tough and I feel low,
And there's no place that I can go,
I turn to poetry, my dear friend,
To soothe my soul, to heal and mend.
With words that flow like gentle streams,
And lines that dance like moonlit dreams,
Poetry takes me far away,
To a world where troubles fade away.
When my heart is heavy with pain,
And I feel like I'm going insane,
I find solace in the written word,
And all my troubles seem absurd.
With rhythm and rhyme, my spirit soars,
And I forget all my earthly chores,
For in the world of poetry,
I find the peace that sets me free.
When everything else seems to fail,
And I feel like I'm hitting the rails,
Poetry lifts me up once more,
And guides me safely to the shore.
For when poetry is all I need,
My soul is nourished, my heart can feed,
And I am filled with a sense of peace,
That in the world, my worries cease.
