When it comes to expressing our love and pain everyone has their own way. Some people express love easily and tend to hide their pain. Some tend to hide their love but their pain shows in their actions. Some can easily express their love and pain. And sometimes people hide both. However it doesn't matter what we express, pain or love, it matters how we express it.
Sometimes people have difficulty expressing their love to their loved ones. Some want to express it in a special and unique way. When lovers have difficulty expressing their love in some scenarios they look to poetry to express their love. Poetry is a beautiful form of literature which expresses a poet's feelings in the most unique way. Poetry is usually a form of literature that lovers use to express their love. When a loved one reads their lover's feelings expressed through love then it makes the feeling of love even more wonderful.
However not only is love expressed through poetry. Sometimes pain can also be expressed through poetry. When pain is expressed through poetry then, in my opinion, someone reading it can really understand the depth of the writer's pain. I myself have written poetry many times and I believe when you express your pain through poetry another person can really understand what you are going through. Plus it becomes a fun challenge to read between the lines.
Whether you are expressing your love or pain in poetry it is not that easy unless you have inspiration. Sometimes your inspiration can be a person, an experience, or even your own personal feelings. Whatever the case may be once you write out poetry and read the finish piece not only are you proud of your work but also of how your feelings were expressed so beautifully. I can say so from my own personal experience.
From what I've written it may seem that I am a fan of poetry, but let me tell you ever since I was little I always hated poetry. I would hate it when we had to read poems in schools. I wouldn't even care what I was reading and I didn't even take the effort to read between the lines or see what the author was trying to tell us. But now, now I love poetry. I love the way poets express their feelings and thoughts and I never miss the opportunity to express my feelings through poetry. I like reading English poems but I also love reading Urdu poems. I usually write Urdu poems but I also enjoy reading English poems.
Whenever I'm in the mood for reading poetry I always search Urdu poems. The thing about the websites online though is that no one credits themselves for writing these poems. It upsets me that they don't because I would never want people reading my work and not knowing that it was me. However, they do it by choice. Recently while bored I read a really nice Urdu poem and I feel I should share it. Although the poet did not credit themselves I'll provide the link so that some credit goes. (And yes I'll translate)
"Aankho mein aansoo aaye na hote, Jo piche mudakar muskuraye na hote, Unke jane ke bad ye ghum na hota, Kash vo zindagi mein kabhi aaye na hote."
In other words...
"Tears wouldn't be in my eyes, If he had not turned and smiled, There would be no pain after he left, If only he had never come into my life."

So lovers, those in pain, or those wishing to express themselves it never hurts to express yourself through poetry.

This is so true. We all have a difficulty expressing our love for things and people, and poetry is a great way of expressing these feelings. In my case I use song lyrics, similar to poetry, to express my feelings or love. And I too used to hate poetry in school when I was younger, but now I read poetry with an open mind, and have an easier time analyzing poems. Everything you wrote here is completely true, and the poem you posted is really nice.

First off, the poem you posted was really touching. It is very true, how people have difficulty expressing either love or pain, in verbal ways, but when it comes down to expressing themselves through words, on paper their feelings come through loud and clear. I myself, never really liked poetry growing up as a child, because I never understood the deeper meaning to it all, I was just reading what was on the lines. Now that I've matured and grown up since then, see more meaning and connect more to poetry, maybe you just need to read between the lines to appreciate poetry more.
