Simply shooting the word love from your mouth like gunfire across a battlefield proves nothing. Love is expressed in actions. The word alone is utterly useless and is just another string of letters in the English language. Words have absolutely no meaning until we give one to them through our behavior and animate them by utilizing our human nature and creativity. The feeling of love exists at the core of our very beings - it's natural, and it's what we instinctively long for.

Watch your mouth
Because your speech is slurred enough
That you just might swallow your tongue

My eyes didn't close
And my mind was screaming
The weight of it all

We have so much going on in our lives and in the world which forces us to dwell on our negativity. Let me tell you that YOU can change your day despite the circumstances. Despite your boss's curses or you teachers' snide remarks YOU can still make your day better. My life is a mess at the moment, yet I march with a strong heart and optimism. It's tough sometimes but at the end of the day, it's worth it.
I have been on HP since 2014. Over these months I have seen a lot of negative stuff on the website. Poetry is indeed the reflection of our emotions but this time I challenge you to write a positive poem, a poem which made you happy, something you wrote and felt happy afterwards or something which happened to you which made you smile. It's all about the happy memories here, my friends.
Use the hashtag #MakeItBetterChallenge or message me. I look forward to reading your poetry :)
