So I'm Addicted to Pinterest Poetry

If you guys follow me on Pinterest, you may have seen all the poetry I've recently been pinning. I'm addicted. I used to be really into poetry back in high school and then sort of forgot all about it, but then I was on Pinterest one day and started seeing all these beautiful quotes from poems and I remember how lovely and breathtaking poetry can be. So I went on a pinning rampage and started saving all the poems. If you want to check out my whole quotes board you can find it here, but I wanted to share some of my favorites with you guys because these words are too beautiful not to share. 

There's something about poetry that captures me. It could never be pulled off in a novel because it would come off as over the top and cheesy. But in poem format, it's stunning. The words wrap around me and stick to all the pieces of me. A lot of poems are relatable in one way or another. But what I really truly love about poetry is the beauty in the words. The ability of the author to take words and paint such a lovely picture with them. Some of these literally take my breath away. 

LOVE this! For my fierce friends... You know who you are. <3

Thats the thing, though. Most only see skin deep. We dont all have someone to love the rest. This is great in theory & very inspirational,  but its hard believing.

It was so hard to choose only ten. I wanted to put the whole freaking board up here. Aren't they just beautiful? I could read these little snippets of poetry all day and never get tired of it. The beauty of the words just stuns me. And the meaning behind them, the emotion I can feel while reading is simply amazing.
