No Power In The Verse Can Stop Me NaPoWriMo 2025

Write about love, they said,
And all it’s power,
And make sure you mention a beautiful flower,
Pen me a rhyme, just for today, 
That might say 
Something
Profound 
About the way they
Lean their head against yours
Or see through your flaws 
Or hold you so close like they’ll never let go
But, everything I write’s about love?
I replied 
(Yes even the one about bins)
There’s more to love than people like Him
Would let you believe,
It’s not just you and me and wherever we go
It’s everyone and anyone and every little thing

And I’m trying to be 
Someone
Who opens doors
And holds them open,
I’ve been 
Consciously waving goodbye to 
Cynicism 
And proceeding with unabashed 
Sincerity
Since I met all of you it’s become super clear that 
The only way we succeed 
Is by being
Ourselves 
With ourselves
Together 

With all my love,
Hannah
