EVERY POEM I WRITE HELPS ME STAY ALIVE <br /> <br />Every poem I write helps me stay alive <br />It gives purpose and hope <br /> <br />A few lines <br />And I feel I am doing something <br /> <br />It may be an illusion as poetry for others <br />Chances are it is an illusion <br /> <br />But the lines make me live again <br />In my own heart and mind<br /><br />Shalom Freedman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/every-poem-i-write-helps-me-stay-alive/
