Friendship
Often, poetry--and fiction in general--is so focused on romance. However, many of the important connections we make in our lives aren't romantic ones at all, but friendships. Write a poem or short story about your best friend and all the ways they have impacted your life.
Only One Expectation
I don't expect you to be strong every time I see you.
I don't expect you to be perfect whenever I'm with you.
You're allowed to feel weak.
You're allowed to have bad days and embarrassing moments.
I don't expect you to hide your scars
I don't expect you to bottle up your emotions
You're allowed to be naked
You're allowed to scream and cry
I don't expect you to smile through everything.
I don't expect you to lift me every time I'm down.
You're allowed to frown
You're allowed to be unable to bear any more weight
I only expect you to love me.
You're allowed to show it the best way you can.
