A poem is a vessel in which anyone can express their innermost emotions, fears, triumphs, losses,and narratives. It can serve as a cathartic activity that may reveal thoughts that were previously unknown even to the author of the poem. I know that in trying times, I have used the power of poetry to my advantage by engaging in a sort of "word vomit" onto a blank page. What are some poems that you find inspiring?

    That is soul-wrenching poem, yet it offers so much hope in the midst of the suffering. I absolutely love it.
