"Paperweight"

I think this poem really stood out to me because I've been in a situation like this... You know, you're going through a hard time and you need someone who's going to be able to hold you down when it feels like the stress of the situation is just going to blow you away. It's a lot easier to go through something difficult when you've got someone by your side, I think everyone would agree on that. I mean sure, sometimes you need your space to think and be alone but for the most part you need a rock. The one person you can go to no matter what, you can cry on them and they'll just try to make you feel better. But I guess it's different if it's a partner and not a best friend, cause they're pretty much expected to be by your side when tragedy strikes. If a person is "too flimsy" to "keep the edges from curling" then it's really going to make things a lot harder on you in the long run if your partner can't help you be strong.
It's kind of a bummer poem in a sense, because it's looking at mostly how this person can't hold the speaker up. Maybe it's not all about going through the hard times, it's about the actual support in the relationship. If you can't be supportive to each other then how can anything work? You need a certain amount of encouragement to give you that extra push to do something, even if it's as simple as applying for a job. If your partner doesnt support you, or doesn't want you to get the job, then how are you supposed to feel confident?
A relationship between two people should be mutual, that's my opinion anyway. Trust and support should be the foundation of something healthy and amazing.
