Love and hate and live and die...

Archana Naik 2004 (Odisha)

Free verse
When you love someone, they give a reason to live
When someone loves you, you get a reason to die for..
When you hate someone, you stab yourself
When someone hates you, you get a reason to heal that stab...
When you live for someone, they make you immortal
When someone lives for you, you get someone forever..
When you die for someone, you carry a part of them along
When someone dies for you, you lose a part of yours and get a couple of pieces from them...
When you look into the mirror and the mirror stares back at you,
Now you realize that you love and hate...
..And die and live for yourself and your fate.......

    This poem is truly powerful and thought-provoking. It captures the complexities of love, hate, life, and death in a truly beautiful way. The lines about living and dying for someone else are particularly moving and highlight the ultimate sacrifice that love can entail.

    One suggestion for improvement might be to explore the themes of self-love and self-worth a bit more. The poem seems to suggest that loving someone else is the ultimate goal, but it's important to remember that we also need to love and value ourselves. Perhaps adding a line or two about the importance of self-care and self-acceptance could enhance the overall message of the poem.

    Overall, this is a wonderful piece of writing that really captures the reader's attention and emotions. Well done!
