What is a poem?

What is a poem?

It's a feeling that flows from the heart, but can never become a fact.

It is a mistake and it is also a hope for a life we're not a part of.

A poem is a gift we might be lucky enough to receive but when it's taken and used to decieve it will turn into bitter words and the poem is torn apart.

It turns into hate and deception and it was never meant to be.......


I'm writing this because for the first time in my life someone has taken a poem of mine and actually tried to manipulate and control me with the words I wrote in it. I gave it as a gift, it is not a reflection of me, it is a reflection of my feelings and doubts I felt for a situation I was going through. If every poem were a fact than it is not creative and spontanious anymore.
