Poetry

Poetry

poetry is what happens

in

between

breaths

it's the packed bags

the night sweats

the confidence

the inept

it resides where you

let it

and stays

where it wants

I took to forgive

I 

    took forgiveness 

out of a book 

and 

put it in real life. 

It felt different to give 

instead of read

about giving. 

I feel as though I've joined a privileged club 

of people 

who wear

        invisible name badges 

        and have chains full of keys 

to rooms 

that most people don't 

even know are there.
