Poetry is something that I also listed on the "Things Vudija Collects" thread; and I responded to Blue about why it's so important to me, but I'll repeat it here. I write, because I am emotionally unattached to most people; I have a hard time relating or expressing myself outloud when it comes to being vulnerable and such. Originally, I wrote as a school assignment and felt forced to be creative, which I don't believe in at all. Once the force was gone, I could write freely and more genuine to how I was truly feeling on many different issues of life. I use it as my own form of therapy, far cheaper than having a psych. tell me that I'm unsociable and need more friends, 'cause I already know that :-)
