poetry is my scripture, music is my gospel…

i’ve had poems pull me out from the darkest places i've ever been in.

i’ve had poems pull me out from the darkest places
i've ever been in. like scripture.

and music… i could probably write an entire book
just about the ways that music has shifted me
and changed me and moved me and saved me.
like gospel.

so when i say that “poetry is my scripture” and
“music is my gospel,” i am saying that there are
poems and songs that are carrying my soul
from one breath to the next in this life.
