My second favorite poem is “Poetry is Not a Luxury” by Audre Lorde. Why? Because it empowers the mind. You can change this poem up to relate to your own life whether you’re Male, Female, White, Black, Gay or Straight. I love it! This poem helped to give me strength during the most difficult times. It did this by teaching me where to find it. The strength I needed was within me and it is within all of us, we just need to figure out where to find it. Enjoy your Sunday!
