Artful Alternatives
Worthy of Self - A Poem
Updated: Mar 27
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.
