It's another #Priceoftheweek. Post a poem that brings you to tears but helps you survive this week. Here is Someday I'll Love Leila Chatti by @laypay 💗
Hello guys😊. The value of a poem to keep one going through a difficult week cannot be overestimated. Hence, we are starting a new category called #Priceoftheweek.
