When you're feeling down, sometimes you just need a little pick-me-up to turn your day around, or sometimes your entire week. Why not have that pick-me-up be a poem?

Instagram poet Mary Hutchinson has been up, down and around the block with communicating through her words. She uses her poetry to not only tell a story, but convey a clear an distinct message of empowerment and overcoming adversity.

Her words vary from speaking about heartache, to triumph, and every middle-ground in between. Just look at what she's publishing: it's always something referring to the heart and how even in the darkest times, we can still find our brightest lights

Though new to poetry, Mary is no stranger to writing. "I started a little over a year ago and was first inspired by a good friend that already had been writing," said Mary. "But ever since I could remember, I had always enjoyed writing." She's always felt comfortable using her words to communicate what she's REALLY feeling: whether it was as a teenager writing her parents sappy notes for favors, or chatting with her penpal abroad.

"I wrote my boyfriend letters and sprayed perfume on them just so he would have my scent with him at nights when I wasn’t with him." Classic movie move. You couldn't ask for anything more romantic than that!

"I want the kind of love that when I get too old to care for myself, you'll be there every step of the way helping me.
