To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.


A secret to be wary,
but one I have to carry.
A secret that's deep,
but it's a promise I have to keep.
A secret that weeps tears of blood,
and from it crimson flowers bud.
A secret that's red;
one that has bled.

Secrets are heavy. Secrets are secrets. They're heavy, whether sad or joyful ones. Even saying the word secret is heavy, to me anyways.

Your poem is very well-written. It has a lot of imagery and great descriptions, although it's short. However, it is difficult to understand the point of your poem. You could, perhaps, make it longer and fix that. Yeah know. I'm mean. Evil. Merciless. Don't let us discourage you. Just keep writing!
