Yearning

-
These are poems I wrote inspired by my mental state during different events in my life. Yearning is used here as the title because not only do I yearn for love but I also yearn to be happy and lead a normal, fulfilling life. Sometimes the smallest thing inspires me to write a poem, like ”Heart-shaped Strawberry” which was based off a strawberry that coincidentally looked like a heart that appeared in my breakfast one morning. That small fruit reminded me of a guy I dated for like a month, and it inspired the poem. That’s usually how my creative process toward poetry goes, just expressing my obsessive thoughts in the most creative ways I can muster with my limited talents.

It means a lot to me because it is the only form that allows me to express myself and how unique I am. It allows people to show their uniqueness and that is a very important thing to have in this society.
