In the midst of our daily chaos, with its constant ebb and flow, we often yearn for an escape. Or, more so, we seek a place where there is peace and nothing else. A place where your heart is heard and connects to the echoes that surround it. There is one particular way we can find that place in the world of literature and art.
Through prose and rhymes,
We read through words that help us out in bad times,
Throughout centuries, poetry has been a sanctuary for individuals. It is a form of expression that transcends the limitations that come with language, culture, and even time. Poetry allows individuals to articulate their deepest emotions, experiences, and thoughts that are often too profound for everyday conversation. Subsequently, a well-written verse can encapsulate a feeling and an emotion that is otherwise difficult to describe. Poetry helps us translate our inner conflicts into words. Helping us understand our feelings and providing us with a therapeutic release in the pursuit of healing.
Subsequently, when we immerse ourselves in poetry, we often discover a profound sense of catharsis and relatability. In the carefully chosen words and rhythmic patterns, we begin to recognize fragments of our own stories—our struggles, our fears, and our silent battles. It is within these verses that we come to a powerful realization: we are not isolated in our pain or emotional turmoil. Others, too, have walked similar paths and have found a way to articulate their suffering through the art of language. Poetry becomes the channel through which our grief flows freely, no longer suppressed or hidden behind societal expectations or personal barriers. Instead of containing or restraining our emotions. We are encouraged to release them, to let them unfold, bloom, and ultimately, begin the process of healing in their own natural and meaningful course.
In this deeply personal exchange between the reader and the poet, we are offered a glimpse into the author’s inner world—their plight, their hopes, their fears, their spiritual insights, and their unwavering truths. Through their most raw and unfiltered words, the poet reveals their ideologies, intentions, and lived experiences in a form that is honest and deeply human. There emerges a unique connection between the reader and the writer, a spark of mutual understanding that resonates beyond the page. Poetry becomes more than just words; it transforms into a sanctuary, a sacred space where one can confront their vulnerabilities without judgment or expectation. It offers comfort, understanding, and peace—asking for nothing in return but allowing everything to felt. It is a quiet, yet powerful gateway to inner bliss. A momentary escape where the soul feels seen, held, and heard.
Unlike other forms of writing, there is something about poetry that makes us feel this way. It is not to be read but felt.
Poetry, in essence, is the bridge that connects us with our inner selves. When moving forward in life, we often suppress our emotions. We deny our feelings and let them fester until they explode. In the process, we abandon our own selves. With each rhyme, we find ourselves back home.
