To me, poetry is a medium that’s defined by authentic written self expression, not by meter or rhyme. For example, Virginia Woolf's "The Waves" is poetry because of its sheer, brilliant authenticity, not merely because of the structure. This two-part poem may not be my most technically crafted, but it's my most raw poem The tone shifts throughout, but the ending is accepting, accepting that I'll find my way and myself, even if I'm not there yet.
