A poem for the future.

2025/11/3 Edited to

... Read moreThis poem beautifully captures the spirit of perseverance and hope that many of us resonate with when facing life's challenges. The imagery of flying without restraints or seatbelts symbolizes freedom from fears and limitations—something we all aspire to achieve. Even when confronted by doubt or adversity, the poem reminds us to keep smiling and striving toward our dreams. The mention of "falling from the sky" yet continuing to reach highlights the resilience required to pursue goals. It acknowledges that setbacks happen, but they shouldn't deter us from our journey. The poem’s message encourages readers to embrace both the struggles and triumphs along the way. In real life, maintaining such optimism often involves setting clear goals, surrounding ourselves with supportive people, and continuously reminding ourselves of our aspirations. Reflection on past moments of hesitation, as noted in the poem, can serve as motivation to push forward. Ultimately, this poem inspires a forward-looking mindset—believing that no matter how long the path, or how uncertain the future, we can prove ourselves capable of greatness. It’s a call to hold onto hope, nurture dreams, and embrace the freedom to rise above challenges for a brighter tomorrow.

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

The idea behind this poem was "burnout". It is about a child whose parents' expectations result in pain and sorrow. Their dreams are crushed and they have lost all hope for their future, and they cry for help. #poetry #poem

I’m going to be honest guys, it feels weird posting poetry after everything that’s been going on in the world lately. I’m no good at writing political poems and I don’t want this to be a political page, but I do want to make it clear that I do not stand for bigotry nor is it welcome in this space.

I read this poem, I can relate to it ❤️‍🩹🥀
Do not speak to me of kindness— I have worn it like a chain; Given hearts with open palms… Only to be fed back pain. I was soft where I should not have been, Loyal past the point of scars; I mistook manipulation For the gravity of stars. For I— Loved with everything I knew, A soul so
