Experiences of You
A love fifty
You laughed
and the sound
filled my s-o-u-l
You looked
at me, and
my breath c-a-u-g-h-t
You loved
and I felt
my chest w-a-r-m
You cried
and my hands
wiped your t-e-a-r-s
You walked
and I heard
my heart b-r-e-a-k
You moved
on and I
died a l-i-t-t-l-e
without you

Why Black History Matters in America?
The United States of America is celebrating their 250th anniversary in 2026. I'm proud to be an American and as someone who was born here, I wouldn't imagine myself living anywhere else. This is a country where opportunities are possible. Where anyone can be successful in anything they desire to do. Equality, community, and togetherness are the backbones of what America is and should be about. However, we have an administration who wants to erase and disregard those who have made positive, meaningful impacts in our country, specifically Black figures, such as Martin Luther King, Jr., Rosa Parks, and Maya Angelou. President Trump and his administration have been constantly complaining and fighting against what they call the "Woke agenda". They use this excuse as a distraction from other issues they refuse to address, such as the high cost of living, climate change, and inflation. That equality is dividing America, when in reality, it's bringing us together. Being woke is not tied to a specific political party. No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, you can still care about other people and their plights. Compassion and empathy for others isn't tied to a political party, either. We were taught as children to treat others the way we want to be treated and not judge others because they're different from us. Caring about others isn't a personal attack on your beliefs. It doesn't make you any less of a person. People who are easily offended over African American figures, past or present, or anything related to it, are grasping at straws. Current and future generations need to know who people like Harriet Tubman and Shirley Chisholm were, especially in the classroom. Black History is part of American History. It should be recognized, not hidden or forgotten. Besides, you can't shield children from everything, just because your feelings are easily hurt.

Lovely poets but very sad moment and best writing your words
Beautifully written. It explains how you fell in love and how your heart broke, all in fifty words. Well Done invisible!!
Oh this explains heartbreak so beautifully…. This was so damn good.
That was so sad. So poignantly beautiful!
Oh my, that last line. Beautiful writing. Well done.
Which is why the little boy in "Love Actually", after telling his stepfather that he's in love & being told that's great, responds, "Why would you say that? It's awful!" That's pretty much been my experience, too.
Will, this is just soul crushing and so relatable!! Beautifully done!!
Oof, that one hits deep. The spacing makes each moment linger, like echoes of love and loss. Simple, but powerful. Feels like a whole relationship in just a handful of lines.
Such a rollercoaster of emotions this piece brings forth. well written
You sure know how to lay back flesh to bare a heart and soul. Beautiful poem
