Secrets Within Thoughts that Were Never Meant to be Said Aloud

Poetry just like art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comforted. It can be raw and grotesque just as it can be beautiful and alive. Poetry is rare in its ability to take on any meaning the reader wishes upon it. There is more to poetry than simply being words on paper; it is used as a coping mechanism an escape a way of communication. Only few can truly interpret the author's words and there is a beauty to being understood without being known.
