A Poem About Poetry

Poetry
is the escape door in a room of closing walls and a raising floor.
When trapped in a recorded dream replaying in your head,
it is the ladder to freedom
an endless climb to a peaceful mind.
your hopes and fears collide,
the walls seal,
heartbreaks heal.
Reborn from a therapist of paper marked in ink.
When hope is lost poetry is the search party.
Find yourself through poetry.
Lose yourself in poetry.
Leaving the shallows,
Minds open wider.
Sinking in a sea of emotion,
Drowning in the depths of lost thought.
The pressure on your heart subsides
As you crawl through the escape door
of the room of closing walls and a raising floor.
