Every day I ask myself

Where is Romeo

The question itself

Has answered as Pinocchio

“O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art

thou Romeo?” Why

Is it that I can’t find you in my heart

Or maybe its I

Who isn’t meant to be part

In your heart

Why does it seem

We can’t find one another

It’s an extreme dream

To find a lover

So why suffer

The thought of love

Has always taken over

So, where is my partner that will fit like a glove

So that I won’t be a loner

I don’t want marriage

But if you were to change my mind

with a message

I may unwind

I want a lover

Who breathes

Speaks and eats

So why

Is it so hard to find you

I do not ask for much

Just your love

So, Romeo please come in touch

So, we can be in love

Biography

My name is Amanda Rodriguez, and I am a sophomore. I like to read and scrapbook for fun.

What is your main source of inspiration?

My main inspiration is music; I love to listen to all different genres of music since every song tells their own story.

What motivated you to write this piece, and what is its message?

I believe what motivated me to write this poem was the fact that I believe romance is dead now. I feel that nobody really wants to get to know a person or is actually interested in getting to know that person.
