I Love You but I Love Me Too
Struggles in Love
My love doesn’t have conditions
but I’m still going to love me too
And love goes out the window
When you don’t care to understand
You think I’m sad
But I just want you to listen
And support me
But you can’t see past
What you know
If it’s not true for you
Or someone you know
Then I'm supposed to suck it up
And let time handle it all
But what if time isn’t the problem at all
What if its comfort
And the risk of losing it all
Sometimes giving to someone else
Doesn’t mean they take something too
Sometimes it just means a better life
For me and you
Don’t you see what happens to me
Will be happening to you
Until the day the universe
Decides our days are through
You see I love you
But I love me too
I’m just having a hard time
Doing both with you

Whispering Woods Challenge Winners
Congratulations to Morgan Christy Rickards for their winning Whispering Woods story, Guardian at the Gate. Morgan has been a Vocal creator since February 2021, and this is their first time placing in Challenge — well done, starting with a win! Guardian at the Gate draws evocatively from Welsh tales of the Cantre'r Gwaelod, a lost sunken kingdom between the forest and the sea. Heledd’s dangerous adventure pulls her towards the water but her spirit is anchored in the woods: Morgan’s writing is atmospheric and exciting.
