What Is A Poem?

A poem is not a hiding place,
But it can become a mask.
A poem is not a question,
But it can make you ask.
A poem is not love,
But it can heal or destroy.
A poem is not life,
But is full of pain and joy.

However...

A poem is the emotions,
We keep bottled up inside.
A poem is a record,
Of all the things hide.
A poem is a friend,
To tell your secrets to.
A poem is a helping hand,
In everything we do.
