Self Poems
POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Personal poetry about the way you feel about yourself
This area is for personal poetry: poems about yourself and your feelings about who you are. Poems here focus on identity, ego, self confidence, insecurities and personality. For readers it's a chance to get to know the poet better and for writers it's an opportunity to analyse themselves by poetic means. The self poems category encourages the poet to lay themselves bare for all to read about, it can be both a frightening and empowering experience.

I’m envious of the clouds
I’m envious of the clouds
That float happily in the sun –
Changing into colorful shrouds –
Lumping from many into one.
Their most compatible friend –
The wind, admits
They beautify the high heaven.
Nebulosity permits
Travel without a passport.
They slip away on a whim
For a day’s length or more
And return a denizen.
That float happily in the sun –

For a day’s length or more
And return a denizen.

Right the Wrong
Bleed,
Slain to fetal position,
Wet head,
Soaked pillow ,
Pain,Pain
Go away
Pain,pain
Holding one hostage,
365x39
Fight to survive
Fight to live
Overwhelmed
She knows ,
Fight,fight
She hears,
Eyes began healing her
Tears,tears
Unfreeze her
Remind her of her woman hood
Thoughts thoughts
Strengthen her
Give her something
To write again
Hands hands
Leave evidence
The proof is here
Is...

Killer Goals
Twinkle asked me
to write down goals
the first 1 was clear
build more muscles
gain strength back
years ago i learned
that being physically
stronger made me
mentally stronger
more resilient too

is goal number two
(never ending sex)
as well as a boost
in mood of course
i showed the list to
my guy & said i'd lie

Awareness
In the reality here
Without distraction
Without the noise
In the cold light of day…
I want to live in make believe
Imagining myself free from gravity
… if in fact gravity is real
Then, only then…let me dream in real time
That the day wouldn’t be so wretched
I yearn for answers
Even though my questions are skewed
If there’s more, the evidence seems mystifying
Searching is exhausting
The rewards are underwhelming
Fulfilment comes from within
… and with it, a disposition for selfishness ...

Metamorphoses
The transformation from a
Walking to a wheeling person
Opened the gate to a
Dark night of the soul
How I missed dancing
Playing volleyball
Riding my bike and
Roaming the woods!
Shame swallowed me
Self-pity drowned me in tears
Self-hatred got the best of me
Failure threw me into an abyss
Looking into the mirror
I saw a weak disabled body
Craving desperately my attention
Merciless I turned away
When I was at my lowest
An angel in the shape of a man

PART OF LIFE
A MAN COULD NOT MAKE MISTAKES
IF HE DOES NOT WORK
BUT A MAN WHO WORKS HIS CRAFT
WILL ALWAYS MAKE MISTAKES
IT REMINDS US THAT WE ARE ALIVE
IF HE DOES NOT WORK
BUT A MAN WHO WORKS HIS CRAFT
WILL ALWAYS MAKE MISTAKES

thoughts percolate...
my heart wants to believe the best of others
but my mind...
holds a catalogue in memory
having borne witness to evidence
entirely to the contrary
& heart views a glass half full
mind sees it half empty
in truth...
it bears the same contents
it is...what it is
as a feather
plucked from a wing
no longer capable of flight
left merely to drift
near weightless
at the mercy of a current
such is the wandering of my thoughts
where heart sighs
& minds flinches
because we...

My friend
Every single day
Supporting you daily
That is not a lie
We are both good friends
And we have
The same believes
I can't hardly believe that
Also we treat each other with respect
We never once mistreat each other
Because that would be the wrong thing to do
And we don't deserve that
We need to work on our friendship
Because I want it to last a long time
We would be lost in the world
If we didn't had each other
My friend
Every single day
Supporting you daily
That is not a lie
We are both good friends
And we have
The same believes
I can't hardly believe that
Also we treat each other with respect
We never once mistreat each other
Because that would be the wrong thing to do
And we don't deserve that
We need to work on our friendship
Because I want it to last a long time
We would be lost in the world
If we didn't had each other

As if that were the case
If you fall in love
who will pick you up then?
If you make love
who will undo it afterwards?
Bang! Bang!
Shooting stars and stray bullets!
The universe sleeps the sleep of angels...
who will pick you up then?
If you make love

Bang! Bang!
Shooting stars and stray bullets!

All about my Father
All about my Father
He is the one that
Made us
Many years ago
And we are here
Because father
Gave us our lives
That is very special
We are very happy
Living every single day
Our lives
We know that we just
Can't gamble with our lives
It is only our Father
Who can put an end
To our lives
Also we are all brother's in
My father's world
He is the one that
Made us
Many years ago
And we are here
Because father
Gave us our lives
That is very special
We are very happy
Living every single day
Our lives
We know that we just
Can't gamble with our lives
It is only our Father
Who can put an end
To our lives
Also we are all brother's in
My father's world

You make it easy for me
You make easy for me
To want to live every single day
And not gamble with my life
Because I have no rights to do that
You make easy for me
To want to pray for you
I never go to bed without praying for you
And you right away
Answer my prayer
When I am feeling down
You gave me a lift
When I have my crying section
You put an end to it
You always inspire me to write
The poems I write
And I just love to write
To want to live every single day
And not gamble with my life
Because I have no rights to do that
You make easy for me
To want to pray for you
I never go to bed without praying for you
And you right away
Answer my prayer
When I am feeling down
You gave me a lift
When I have my crying section
You put an end to it
You always inspire me to write
The poems I write
And I just love to write
