Poems 
Poems are born 
from thoughts 
and ideas 
inspired by 
the world around us. 
Poems take form 
in our hearts. 
We give them 
cadence and soul. 
Poems gain life, 
but are prisoners 
in our heads. 
They nag us 
until we set them free. 
The only way 
to truly free them 
is by writing them down 
on paper 
to be preserved. 
Poems are our subjects. 
We give them liberty, 
but we can seize it. 
We give them a shape 
that we can change. 
Yet, we give them life, 
which is hard to take away.
