Yesterday someone asked me "why poetry"
And I had a flashback
Midnight. Eugene, Oregon. Apartment parking lot.
She asks me the same question
And the only words I had were a cliche.
"it feels like I finally found my purpose"
It still feels that way.
Refuge // expression // hope
It is a multipurpose tool the has held my hand through the best and worst moments of my life. Im not sure i know who I am with out it.
