What is Poetry?

Poetry, as stated by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, is "the best words in the best order" and, to me, it is the best release. Finding the courage to speak is often hard for me. Emotions build inside of my soul because I have a hard time letting them out. So poetry is a way for me to release those emotions in a way that flows and makes sense to me. Not only that, but reading a beautiful poem, that I can relate to, helps me feel as though I am not alone and therefore releases other feelings of loneliness or seclusion. To me, poetry is the best form of therapy.
