Contemporary poetry - 145 poems. Some funny, some sad, some serious, some ridiculous. People do a lot of pretending, but when stuff hits the fan or when we suffer loss, we revert back to our sweet, loving selves. Inside every human is an earth and life lover just waiting to come out, and some of us are fortunate enough to already be there. Steel Exteriors and Gelatin Hearts represents the end of the facades, feeling more comfortable to communicate with others, and realizing that we are not as tough as we make ourselves out to be.
