"Poetry is the avenue leading to secluded paradise...the place where its' creator need not conform to anybody's expectations. Society's rules don't apply there."--Heidi West
Cramped inside society's box
Searching for escape...
discovering a road
never taken before...
it leads me to a Utopia of sorts...
a place where...
I can think...and feel...and be
just who I want to be...
liberated and free
within the secluded paradise
of poetry.
