Love. We long for it. We feel the sting of love's loss. We give love in hopes of receiving love. We withhold love out of fear it won't be returned. Love connects us. Love disappoints us. Love distinguishes us. Love extinguishes us. Love abandons us. Love disappoints us. Love creates expectations. Love fulfills lives. Love is always a risk worth exploring even when it fails. Love is poetry... Poetry is love... Love becomes a silhouette.

Instead of sitting down and complaining about it, as one who loves poetry, I decided to actually WRITE POETRY. Poetry is simply a big word for expressing your opinion on certain topics in a shorter time. I love poetry and hope that after reading this, you may fall back or fall in love with it too.

When we reach inside during our weakest moments and find the strength to move forward, we discover the best thing about being human. Our humanity lies in both the strengths and the weaknesses that connect us and separate us.
