Valentine's Day Is Stupid Poem by LaTisha Parkinson

Valentine's day is stupid,
no I'm not hating on love,
I just think it's a stupid holiday.

For all of you that are so in love,
please just answer me this:

can't you say 'I love you'
on the 6th of May,
8th of August,
or the 12th of July?

can't you show you care by a sweet gesture or card
on the 31th of December,
16th of March,
or the 3rd of September?

can't you take them out on a romantic date
on the 5th of January,
30st of November,
or 17th of April?

can't you proclaim your love in the most sacred way (marriage)
on the 1st of June,
2nd of October,
or 28th of February?

My point is: you don't need a day to say 'I love you',
you don't need a day to lie,
you don't need a day to pop the question,
you don't need a day to give the gift of love...
you just need your heart and someone special.

Valentine's Day is stupid,
It's a total waste of time.
You can say 'I love you' and show it;
without waiting for 364 days to go by.
