Can I Be the Poem, Not the Poet?
to be truly loved by someone
There’s always a time where I find myself longing for a love so profound that it doesn’t need any explanation or be articulated. I want to be loved in a way that transcends words, a love that isn’t just written about but felt deeply.
To be the poem means to be the embodiment of feelings, it is the essence of emotions captured in verses that speaks for themselves. I want the kind of love that’s not just described but experienced, the kind of love that doesn’t need elaborate explanations because it’s understood intuitively.
Being the poet, on the other side, is about crafting words, shaping thoughts, and weaving together different ideas. But sometimes, I wonder if I can simply be the poem instead — the one who is loved for who they are, without having to constantly explain or justify their existence. I want to feel loved in a way that is more than just words, a love that felt in the quiet moments, in the unspoken understanding, in the shared silence.
to be the poem is to be loved in my purest form, without the need for constant validation or reassurance.
It’s about being appreciated for the essence of who I am, not just because of the words I use to express my self. I want someone to see me, to truly see me, and to love me without needing to decode or dissect.
There’s a certain beauty in being the poem — the beauty of being loved by who you are that words become unnecessary. It’s the kind of love that doesn’t need any explanation because it’s already understood. It’s the kind of love that feels right, that feels complete, even in silence.
Being the poem means being loved in a way that’s so deep, so genuine, that words are no longer needed.
I’ll continue hoping that someday I can be the poem and not just the poet — loved for who I am because it’s me. I want to be the embodiment of love, the essence of feeling, the one who is cherished without needing to explain why. Because sometimes, the deepest love is the one that doesn’t need to be said out loud. It’s simply felt, deeply and profoundly.
