Poems About Rupi Kaur by Top Critiquers

Visual Dedication

i am stuck in this strange world
of having to grow  
 
pains come and go
like sunflowers open and close
sprung into life by an ever-present sun
willing me on
 
but i’m not really stuck
it’s just a phase
though I’m afraid
one phase leads to another
and to the next  
and so
i simply walk prepared for the pains
to come and go

Dear Body,

Thank you for giving me a body that is only mine
And no one else’s. You are taught to be skinny
Or curvy because there is no place in between.
 
Why should it ever be a boy or man to intertwine
With to make your soul more whole? It is a pity
To be taught you need a man’s love to be a queen.
 
You are no one’s pit stop or someone’s temporary  
Home. Thank you for your kindness and for carrying  
Life into tomorrow as well as for many years to follow.    
 
You deserve a multitude of rest when you...
