those who helped me
taught me what I ought to do,
those who did harm
taught me what I’ve not to do,
those who left me neglected
taught me that the thought of you
is not enough -
action is what helps
when times are tough,
love is a verb
not just a word,
it cuts through suffering -
makes the voiceless
heard

Really like this! Clever but so smoothly delivered
Beautiful and powerful as always Kayleigh!
Make the voiceless heard, that line was soooo powerful! Loved your poem!
Love is a verb. Oh yes it is.
This is a very relatable poem. It's very powerful and thought-provoking. The lines "those who did harm / taught me what I’ve not to do" especially hit me hard. Well done.
So powerful and absolutely reigns true!
Short but very impactful. Great poem Kayleigh 😊
Such a great message here. Wonderful poem, Kayleigh!
I love this one, Kayleigh! “Love is a verb.” Absolutely!
You're absolutely right. Love this!
