Analysis of A poem is but a piece of your soul
I do not cry.
I do not whine.
I do not fight with my mind.
I do not scream.
Nor do I shout.
I have a different way of letting my emotions out.
I write.
I write poems.
poems that take turns.
Turns so dark people will forget from where they start.
I do not cry.
But when I write I sob.
I do not whine
But when I write I dream.
I dream of a world that could have
been.
When I write, I fight, I fight with the thought that should be expressed.
I do not scream, I speak. I speak my poems, proud and strong, I do not scream my poems because that would be wrong.
I write a poem like it's my child.
I nurture my poems the way I wish I was nurtured.
I feed my poems not food, but emotions.
Emotions, so strong I would crumble with no outlet.
A poem is but a piece of your soul.
I have many pieces, some I share with the world and some I hide.
My poems are my work. They tell a story, some so sad they would make you cry, some so happy they sound like a lie.
My poems are my story they tell the past but my poems do not define me because the further is all that lasts

About this poem
I often write poems because I’m in pain or because I need an outlet for my emotions. When I write poems, I often will pour all my feelings into my paper. I can’t even count how many times I’ve finished a poem and it has been covered my own tears. I wrote this poem after my psychiatrist inspired me, by telling me that my poems where powerful and filled with emotion
