Self-Loathing Poetry
No more self-loathing poetry
No more cutting through the incisions of old mistakes
Upon the parlour of redemption
The sinner has spoken
Lies have risen up from the depth of the truth
Like oil from water
.
No more hatred in my lungs
My past is a story to be told
Each day further from the new days of dawn
.
Hope is in my breathing
Joy is in my tongue
Love is in our kisses
Wild and warm
As much as they’re to become boring in a year or two
.
Look at me
I’m not the same
Still learning what’s underneath
The rotten yet glamorous costume of a girl

She sat at the back and they said she was shy, She led from the front and they hated her pride, They asked her advice and then questioned her guidance, They branded her loud, then were shocked by her silence, When she shared no ambition they said it was sad, So she told them her dreams and they said she was mad, They told her they'd listen, then covered their ears, And gave her a hug while they laughed at her fears, And she listened to all of it thinking she should, Be the girl they told her to be best as she could, But one day she asked what was best for herself, Instead of trying to please everyone else, So she walked to the forest and stood with the trees, She heard the wind whisper and dance with the leaves, She spoke to the willow, the elm and the pine, And she told them what she'd been told time after time, She told them she felt she was never enough, She was either too little or far far too much, Too loud or too quiet, too fierce or too weak, Too wise or too foolish, too bold or too meek, Then she found a small clearing surrounded by firs, And she stopped...and she heard what the trees said to her, And she sat there for hours not wanting to leave, For the forest said nothing, it just let her breathe -Becky Helmsley 🌿 🌿 #longing #poem #poems #naturepoetry #treewoman #gaia #womenspoetry #womanpoetry #womenpoets #notenough #toomuch #meditation #consciousness #spirit #spirituality #spiritualawakening #breathe #forest #trees #treesofinstagram #alone #judging #conformity #confusion #whisperingwind #neverenough #treenation #shamarwyn #landofenchantment (at Land Of Enchantment) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaLElqLu5uW/?utm_medium=tumblr

Will you be named after a flower
Or will I call you Wonder
As my first attempt to call my future to be born
Little girl
.
Sometimes I feel you upon me
Watching how I manage to mess up my life
With all the care in the world
And I’m sorry, and I’m thankful,
You’re the only one that keeps me from falling too hard
In the endless search of my sweet & beloved destruction
The polar sides of me are threatening at times
And I fear, so I stop, and I watch, still, with necessary detachment,
How was I about to mess it all up again, with all the care in the world,
And I think of you, in times like this,
And say to myself:
“I can’t carry on, I’m soon to be 26,
Years are rolling down my cheeks
As they take me down to the waking call,
The road with one way streets,
To "Nowhere’s Land"
Can’t cary on, because I wanna be a mum,
One day, for you, I wanna be good,
I wanna love myself so I can teach that to you,
Teach you how to twirl, and jump and laugh at the face of the pessimists,
The weary and ugly bastards that will tell you off for shining to bright
.
Cause you teach me how to grow, how to mediate,
How to stop being a narcissistic cunt
Who only cares about flying high whatever the circumstances
I ain’t gonna be addicted to my past selves,
Rock’n’roll ain’t only destructive, it’s saying fuck you
To anything and anyone and doing it with class and arrogance
.
I say fuck you to my baggage, fuck you to my doubts and fears
You teach me how to do that and shift with elegance
With all the care in the world
You see that’s something that won’t ever change about me,
Anywhere I’ll go, I’ll go hard,
But you’ll teach me and I’ll learn,
How to love myself better so I can teach that to you

Behind Closed Doors I normally write a lot of erotic poetry, but I felt like getting deep tonight. I’ve been through a WHOLE lotta trauma in my life, especially as a kid. And reading these words to myself makes me realize that I have a lot of hate that I need to let go of for myself. It makes me realize that although the closure is there I need to forgive them, and myself for being so afraid to speak up. This isn’t the full poem, this is just a snippet but I plan on writing a three part poem to my trauma so that I can fully let go of that pain, cause it’s what keeps me up at night. #esteepolanco #musingsofabutterfly #poetry #poetrycommunity #healingjourney #healing #poetsofinstagram #poetrylovers #womanempowerment #latinapoet #womanpoetry #healingpoetry #pain #selflove #letgo #loveyourself #beyourself #childhood #poetrylovers #poetryofinstagram #poet #dominicanpoet #explorepage #followme #beauty #beautiful #amazonbooks #kindle #nookbook #lulubookstore #unpacking https://www.instagram.com/p/CKVhA_LAqon/?igshid=s0wl4fydg0t

🦋 O amor sempre encontra um caminho 🌿 . {The next moment I felt I could breathe again, the weight of all known mountains came off my fragile body and the weight gave way to his embrace. You asked me to stay there. with you and forget all about doubt and insecurity. All words of comfort that came out their mouths have enveloped me they returned the oxygen they had escaped here from within. I'll never feel the same from here, I thought. Despite all my attempts to keep me invisible, love has found a way - google translate}
