Searching for  answers within my heart.
Asking god to lead me to the right path .
But yet again:
Where are the answers am searching for.
When in reality. I don't know the questions am wanting to be answered.
Am afraid to ask.
People!
People!
People am confused.
PLEASE!
Tell
Meee
What is love?
What is love?

What is that feeling that gets you going for anything that gets on your way?
Is it within that smile?
Within that late cries at night wanting to hear a comforting voice?
Or is it a feeling that eventually looses it's taste?

Many died .
Many cried.
Many hung up themselves on walls.
Many became the greatest of madness.
And yet the real question is :
Does love truly exist?
Where does it begin?
How does it begin?
Does it start with that one simple smile.
Or that one angry look..

Does it look for you , or do you look for it?

What is love?
What is love?

hey.. I loved this.. well.. I think that the picture added a lot to it.. I see how you put your emotions.. I like when you said "people people people" it caught my attention.. I'm not sure why you put more than one 'e' on Me.. it just doesn't make sense to drag out that word.. but this was really good..

Desire nothing except desirelessness. Hope for nothing except to rise above all hopes.
Want nothing & you will have everything.

Hey sweetpali08,

Great job on this poem! I loved the whole thing, because I can relate well to the subject…

Also, like everyone else said awesome picture. It only took my computer 5min to load it but okay…yeah, I have slow internet server.

I’m afraid I have to disagree with everyone on the “Meee” part, I think I like how it’s dragged out, cause to me it sounds more like you’re asking for the people to just tell you the secret to love.
So dragging out the “me” signifies just you, no one else, does that make any sense? Not really, but okay…

There are a few things in this poem that I’d question your phrasing, like one,

“many hung up themselves on walls”

I’m not sure if you did that on purpose or not, but I think it would sound better without the “up”. I think the “up” kicks the flow off.
Or,

“Where are the answers am searching for?”

you might want to add an “I” in there somewhere, but that’s just minor stuff, there’s nothing major I would change in this…

Anyway, I really did enjoy reading this poem, I can’t wait to read more of your work
