Why do artists paint?
why do we sculpt?
feel emotions?
why do we cry
feel sad
feel depressed
fear
love
hurt?
...those who write poetry - feel something
they feel a spark of something inside
then write it down
from the heart to the page
from passion within their soul
to sentences taking shape
from an observation to the written word
...they write it down
As humans we sometimes brake-down
we become broken
we can be crushed
we can feel emotionally stripped
destroyed
...by a person
an event
the establishment
or just by life in general
some people are just damaged
life just isn't fair
either physically or mentally
or both
with an emotional feeling of inadequacy
darkness
hurt and despair
...so sometimes
would be poets write these emotions down
we vent
vent our passion
we empty our anger
our love
our hate
our observations
all our feelings and our anxieties
...and we channel them
via a pen onto a page
via a keyboard onto a screen
via our fingers onto a blog
and into a poem
...and we find that typing it out
unloading it
seeing it written down
on a scrap of paper
on a page
on a screen...
really helps
Those who write poetry
write poetry
because they feel they must
...and feel that maybe
others might like what they've written too
