to "round out" the selections from a couple months ago

It is entirely possible
There's not enough
Love, the verb,
In this world
To fill the void
self-doubt
Fear and pain
Carved deep
Into your stone

Author's Note

difficult to admit that sometimes its true that there's nothing you can do...

This is so true. Sometimes things are the way they are and no amount of fixing may help it. However, I feel like the poem could also be touching on the "you dig your own grave" saying, in that no one can help you if you don't let them, and if you carve your stone too deep it may not ever be able to be filled.
Very short, yet incredibly thought provoking.

This seems to say so much, really nice. I love the word choice in such a small length poem.

It's hard when someone you love doesn't love themself enough; having to admit you may never pull them out of that hole, or they may never get out. You portray that ache very well.

Nice choice of words to portray a deep wisdom about the reality we poor souls are subjected to as we live our lives with its challenges and pain, waiting for the joyful rare times love can bring, but is too often a missing ingredient. Loved this write.

[EMMIE]

SO MUCH FEELING AND EMOTION PORTRAYED IN VERY FEW LINES. GREAT WRITE

but nice piece

[WhiteWillow]

I like the fact that this poem is directed at someone ("your stone"), and it isn't just a general statement; made it more personal. Really liked the piece!

Meghan, you hit the nail on the head. It is precisely my opinion that she chose not to be "fixed," but, I don't know. That's why it's phrased "entirely possible," and not a condemnation of laziness, or contrariness. It's entirely possible that she has no control and that's just the way she is.
