'Strawberry Lip Balm' is a short poem I wrote as a project for my English class during my senior year of high school that I thought was cute enough to post. The assignment was to describe an abstract theme with a concrete noun or description in a single sentence, and to expound on it with five more sentences(each sentence tailored to one of our senses).
The objective of the project is to force us to not only be poetic, but to choose words with a level of strength that we usually wouldn't bother to attempt to reach. It makes the poem powerful, yet concise.
This poem is centered around the abstract theme of love and follows a loose formatting requirement.

MY HIDDEN THERAPY
She thought she was invisible. He never stopped looking at her. Ahana is the quiet girl everyone forgets, the girl who sits in the corner, buries herself in books, and battles an inferiority complex she never talks about. Arnav is the boy who somehow notices every little thing about her. And he wants her to notice him, too. As he tries to get closer, fate seems determined to keep them apart. New people enter their lives, friendships change, misunderstandings grow, and every time they take a step toward each other, something pushes them apart. But Arnav has never been good at giving up. Because while Ahana doubts herself, he's certain about one thing: Her. A slow, burn high school romance filled with longing glances, silent confessions, jealousy, heartbreak, and a boy who falls first, and keeps falling harder.

The Stolen Promise: Unraveling the truth
Lingling and Orm. Their names are synonymous with love, a love that burns bright, a beacon in their world. They've weathered storms, faced seemingly insurmountable odds, and emerged stronger, their bond seemingly unbreakable. But life has a way of throwing curveballs, and even the strongest love can be tested. As they stand on the precipice of a new chapter, surrounded by the warmth of family and friends, a shadow lingers on the edge of their happiness. A secret, perhaps, or an unspoken fear.

Or will the whispers of doubt and uncertainty finally break them apart? Their story is far from over. It's only just begun...Complete
