Abstract

The article titled "How Poetry Helps Me Fight" emphasizes the profound strength that can be derived from engaging with poetry.

5 thousand poems, 5 thousand swords, 5 thousand choices. Every word is a sword that becomes your own. Maybe your sword will one day break apart, But no matter what, keep writing swords.

The power of poetry is not in the words and sentences but in you.

But while you’re doing this, while you’re defining poetry and words and living and breathing, as hard as it may seem, you are building a home of your own in a world that everyone else seems to have already made for themselves.

But despite it all, you keep trying, because deep down, you know that’s all you can do — to try and try until everything falls into place.
