In this piece I wanted to talk about the struggles of love and that despite those struggles it is important to be brave and to take a chance on loving someone. It is based on the story of the ancient Arabic poem "Layla and Majnun", which is about unrequited love. I remember the figure of Layla as a common theme from my childhood, she was even featured on the plates we used in our home. In addition, I used a poem from my favourite contemporary female poet in the background.This poem fits wll with the theme of love and poetry, because although the struggle the characters endure is not identical, it is soemthing that each of us goes through at one point or another in our lives.
