Poems for the Signs

by Michaela Angemeer

i am done with maybe loves love is not for maybes romeo didn’t drink half the poison juliet plunged the sword all the way in it’s time for full-fledged love i deserve something definite

hiding from your feelings doesn’t make them go away it covers them with black mud bubbling up when you least expect it spilling into everything you hoped would feel good until you can’t feel anything at all

i love you. please keep laughing and smiling and finding joy in the little things. you make life better. thank you for reminding me that not everything has to be so serious all the time. you are the definition of pure, unaltered love, and i love you so much for it. never stop dancing, singing, expressing yourself in whatever way feels right to you. you were put on this earth to be you. i know you have been hurt and put down, and for that i am sorry. i will never listen to anyone who tries to get you to dim your light again. to my inner child

this is a reminder of who you are what you've been through and how far you've come i’m proud of you
