Afraid Of Love Poem by Marissa Hernandez

there are many things in this world,
people, animals, buildings, cities,
but most of all there's love.

love lives inside us as well as all around us,
but we just don't see it

maybe because some of us are blinded by everything else around us,
that we choose to ignore this element

love as well as everything else is an element.

without love, the world would be a dark, evil place with no chance of happiness. ever.

but the main reason we ignore the feeling of love is because,
we are afraid of getting hurt by it.

but if we don't take a chance how will we ever know?
how will we know if love itself can be trusted?

i guess love will just have to be given a chance.
so anyone that's afraid to be hurt,
don't be scared,
take a chance and feel loved for once
JUST BE LOVED! !
