poetry becomes the most difficult thing<br />

when you are clutching tears like secrets close to<br />

your chest, not letting a drop fall in case it shatters<br />

your world. „to speak or to die“ - we keep the phrase<br />

engraved in our veins, yet speaking in poetry becomes<br />

difficult when you have died a hundred deaths inside.<br />

poetry becomes difficult when you are mining for<br />

beauty amongst heaps of pain. and if you are lucky,<br />

you will scribble something down and forget about<br />

it for a few months. poetry becomes difficult when<br />

reality shakes you to your core. poetry is pretty until<br />

it is not. not only does it become difficult, it becomes<br />

poisonous. poetry becomes difficult when you use all<br />

your words to scream that you cannot breathe anymore.<br />
