A very personal question perhaps but I am interested in your answers.
What does poetry mean to you? Did it save your life? Is it a way to express things that cannot be said?
Is it just a quick fun way to play with words?

This is always the million dollar question - I love it!
For me, I have consistently struggled with letting a situation go in life. I've always felt this need to analyze why someone did something or question my role in the dynamic, etc. But when I discovered poetry, sometimes not knowing those answers is what makes great poetry, because you can just explore the idea and sort of wander around it which is what can make it really poetic. So, what that has allowed me to do is purposefully let the situation be because I know that will serve me a greater purpose in writing. I actually like when certain situations/people are unfinished now because that means I can most likely explore the idea for longer on paper which I love! I also think it empowers you in a situation that would otherwise feel largely disempowering. I can almost say to certain people/situations in my life "that's fine, I'll just go write about it", so I know that I am the one wort of winning in the end which can really help when you're dealing with unsavory characters! haha :)
