The Nakedness of Truth (I know it well)

Paul Eluard

 Next Poem          

Despair has no wings,
Nor has love,
No countenance:
They do not speak.
I do not stir,
I do not behold them,
I do not speak to them,
But I am as real as my love and my despair.

    Really felt this one, hits deep, you know? That part "I do not stir, I do not behold them, I do not speak to them, but I am as real as my love and my despair." Just wow, so relatable. Stressing abt midterms, it spoke to me. Guess poems aren't all bad... #studentlife #homeworksucks
