Destiny - a poem

2025/2/14 Edited to

... Read morePoetry serves as a profound medium to express feelings, experiences, and aspirations, capturing the essence of human emotion. 'Destiny' encapsulates this idea, focusing on the theme of choice – a central aspect of human existence. Many poets, including Rumi, Maya Angelou, and Pablo Neruda, have explored similar themes, illustrating the interplay between destiny and personal decision-making. The upcoming collection, 'things i never got to tell you,' promises to delve deeper into relatable human experiences, encouraging readers to reflect on their destinies and the choices that shape them. As a part of the growing poetry community on platforms like Lemon8, readers can connect with others who appreciate the power of poetry. Engaging with poems not only enhances emotional intelligence but also fosters a sense of belonging. Thus, sharing and discussing works like 'Destiny' contributes to a vibrant community, creating a space where individuals can resonate with one another's interpretations and experiences. In fostering such connections, poetry becomes a unifying force, inviting readers to contemplate their unique journeys and the destinies they choose to embrace.

Poem: Sadness is a Parasite
Sadness Is a Parasite Sadness is a parasite— it drains joy quietly. It starts small: a bad day, a forced smile. But it grows. It multiplies, spreads, sinks into every corner of your mind. Even sunlight turns gray. Bad days become weeks, then months, then years. Forced smiles fa

A Poem for Soft Tummy Girls 🫀
It was believed that the most beautiful women, goddesses, were to have fuller figures and round faces. Look at any statue of Aphrodite and she has a tummy, round cheeks, and often a softer double chin 🫀 The goddess in the first slide was exactly that, a goddess, rolls and thighs, and all 🥰 #godd
