I like this poem because it talks about why the author got into writing poetry and how it became his escape at a young age. The author is a friend of mine that likes to write.
A Kid
when did it all start that words unspoken could lead me to a change of heart . ... somewhat soothing and a place of rest for my mental capacity . I was only 8 years old when the thought of life being over crossed my mind Too late to take my time and figure out why why everyone seemed to pick me out of everyone waves of insults crashed into my ear drums beating at my heart as if they thought their words were sandpaper that would soon smooth ove . . .it.did.not... but instead my wounds dripped ink and dried into past scars Spoken word...poetry it kept me from myself brought me away from the cruelty of the world while helping me shape my own Words that went unspoken from my lips found its way out Building a courage inside of me a light something i felt could and should have been taken out I have things to say even when no soul listens writing did that for me since I was only a kid when it all started
This poem is really good, many people find some way to comfort themselves when something happens. The poet’s style in word choice made the poem sentimental.
I enjoyed reading this poem because it’s very relatable. Almost everyone can describe something they’v started doing whenever they felt alone. When the author talks about all the bad things that would happen to him the tone sounds very dark but when he talks about writing poetry the tone seems to get more calm.
The tone of the poem is really strong and deep meaning. also, it sad. Especially the poem is easy to understand.
