Poetry On Odyssey: Soft Heart

She's not made of glass but she can still be hurt.

She has a soft heart,

but she will let you

try and break it.

She won't tell you that it can't be broken.


Her soft heart is malleable,

it's been formed and reformed

through her life.

You won't break it.


At best you'll restore

some missing part.

At the worst,

you'll reshape it once more.


But her soft heart

is not what you need

to worry about breaking.

Her spirit is what will take the pain.


She is the one who

has guy friends

that aren't afraid to

fight some of her fights for her.


The same friends that

will build a pillow fort

and watch old movies

when you won't.


They know when she

is hurt,

even when she doesn't

tell them.


They'll know what you

are doing to her

before she can even

guess at what you have in store.


She may have a soft heart,

but if you break her spirit

it won't be her heart

you have to worry about.


She'll hold her friends back

to save you before they can do anything.

It is only because she knows

how to protect her heart.


It won't be the friends

you have to worry about.

No, you hurt her soft heart

and broke her spirit.


Her mind is the force

to be reckoned with.

Her heart will sit and watch what happens

as she burns your world down.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
