Worthy of Self - A Poem

Updated: 2 days ago


Say It


Standing hands on hips

Being Strong


Say it


Scared child truths

Brave from some place else


Say it


Boulder strength

Numb nerves


Deep Breath


Looking you right in the eyes

Speaking inside your core


Deep Breath. Say it


Words spilling like needles and knives

Lips bleeding, salty, stung


Deep Breath. Said it.


You, still perfect and self possessed

Not hearing. Blind to my words


Deep Breath. Silent.


Pain comes. Rejection Comes. Loss Comes.

Ridicule leaves. Pity Leaves. Tension Leaves.


Deep Breath. Say it.


More Rejection.

More Abandonment.

Friendship Gone.
