**Trigger warning: brief discussion of abuse.** "Selfish" - a poem by Ashten Light. Friendly reminder that non-physical abuse is just as abusive. Emotional, verbal, and mental abuse are also extremely detrimental and painful to go through. I am so proud of everyone who has come out the other side of such awful situations. Break the cycle. 💖 Sending love! ~tags~ #poetsofinstagram #writersshare #poetstribe #poetrycommunity #writersaroundtheworld #poetscity #poetsandpoetryy #shewrites #poetictthoughts #words #poems #poets #poetry #instapoetry #poetryisnotdead #poetryrise #poetrybook #inkedpoetry #bleedingsoulpoetry #poetsandwriters #warriorsofmentalhealth #mentalillness #mentalillnesspoetry #depression #anxiety #adhd #mentalhealth #sadpoetry #mentalhealthpoems #mentallyill https://www.instagram.com/p/CNTFdAoFLVD/?igshid=2v72vh1gfcz7

"Marry the Stars" - a poem by Ashten Light. Sometimes I feel as though my wounds are too deep for anyone to ever help me heal... that I'm a lost cause, that if I love someone I should want them to find someone better than me. I don't have a solution for this problem yet, but I hope I will one day. ~tags~ #poetsofinstagram #writersshare #poetstribe #poetrycommunity #writersaroundtheworld #poetscity #poetsandpoetryy #shewrites #poetictthoughts #words #poems #poets #poetry #instapoetry #poetryisnotdead #poetryrise #poetrybook #inkedpoetry #bleedingsoulpoetry #poetsandwriters #micropoetryfeatures #love #lovequotes #sadqoutes #sadlovequotes #lovepoems #mentalhealth #mentalillness #mentalillnesspoetry #qotd https://www.instagram.com/p/CNP6roVp1pv/?igshid=ji74ezj8aq9

"Ephemeral" - a poem by Ashten Light. This poem was written for a friend who helps me see the stars in a sky of darkness. When one is struggling, even the brief moments of smiles and happiness is such a relief. It gives so much hope for the future, reminding us that happiness does, in fact, exist. ~tags~ #poetsofinstagram #writersshare #poetstribe #poetrycommunity #writersaroundtheworld #poetscity #poetsandpoetryy #shewrites #poetictthoughts #words #poems #poets #poetry #instapoetry #poetryisnotdead #poetryrise #poetrybook #inkedpoetry #bleedingsoulpoetry #poetsandwriters #poetrysociety #poemsoftheday #writersunite #writersnewtag #writersconnection #artofpoets #writeyourheartout #poetryinstagram #_inkverse (at Sunshine) https://www.instagram.com/p/CONnlktl9b0/?igshid=1br9sbcssp50x

"Compare Me" - a poem by Ashten Light. To me, this poem represents the struggle of a toxic or abusive relationship. Yearning to be set free, but fearing you may fall apart without their control in your life. It's a sickening, awful feeling that is difficult to capture with words. If you are experiencing abuse (physical, emotional, verbal, mental, etc), please reach out. The Domestic Violence Hotline can be reached on their website or 1.800.799.SAFE and the Childhelp Hotline (for minors who suspect they may be being abused) can be reached at their website or at 1.800.4.A.CHILD. You matter. ~tags~ #poetsofinstagram #writersshare #poetstribe #poetrycommunity #writersaroundtheworld #poetscity #poetsandpoetryy #shewrites #poetictthoughts #words #poems #poets #poetry #instapoetry #poetryisnotdead #poetryrise #poetrybook #inkedpoetry #poetsociety #poetsandwriters #warriorsofmentalhealth #mentalillness #abuse #toxic #depression #anxiety #youmatter #mentalhealth #sadpoetry https://www.instagram.com/p/CNNJ5_4J8PC/?igshid=9kfdalckuagj

"Lion" - a poem by Ashten Light. That feeling when you think you're hopeless, that you're stuck where you are, that things are never going to get better... Don't believe that feeling. Things will get better. Even if it hurts right now.

"The House" - a poem by Ashten Light. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This poem, in the form of what is called a haiku sonnet, was written to symbolize the "walls" I put up to protect myself and those around me. Often times it feels like I am warning others to stay away so they don't get hurt by the darkness within me. But sometimes people will ignore the signs and march straight into my heart and take me by the hand and let me know that it's okay and that I'm not alone... I'm very grateful for those friends. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What does this poem mean to you when you read it? - - ~tags~ #poetsofinstagram #writersshare #poetstribe #poetrycommunity #writersaroundtheworld #poetscity #poetsandpoemss #shewrites #poetictthoughts #words #poems #poets #poetry #instapoetry #poetryisnotdead #poetryrise #poetrybook #friendship #poetryslam #poetsandwriters #warriorsofmentalhealth #mentalillness #mentalillnesspoetry #depression #anxiety #adhd #mentalhealth #sadpoetry #mentalhealthpoems #mentallyill https://www.instagram.com/p/CM948ewLFn4/?igshid=q2etefab4z2m
