Justify Your Art in 250 Words Or Less
I justify writing poetry, when there's so much out there already, by saying there are worse things I could be doing. Better activities, sure, but there are many more worse things (developing a drug addiction, stalking celebrities, watching too much TV). How do you justify it? 250 words or less.

Poetry "gives thought a place to manifest." Are thoughts just words in search of a poem (or novel, or essay, etc.)? What's the difference between writing and thinking? Or existence and writing/saying?
Poetry does keep me healthier; it's almost like a sketch pad for my ideas/worries about the universe. I can enact these little plays on paper to arrive at new perspectives about the world and myself.
When I die, the world will end. So, keep me alive, bitches!
