Poetry can help us in life by providing a creative outlet for our emotions, helping us to express ourselves, and giving us a different perspective on the world.
Poetry can be a cathartic way to deal with our emotions, whether they be happy or sad. It can be a way to express ourselves when we feel like we can't do so in any other way. And it can give us a different perspective on the world, one that can be more beautiful and poetic than the everyday reality we often take for granted.
