My poem

2024/8/4 Edited to

... Read moreIn the journey of life, it’s easy to feel weighed down by our problems, especially when it seems our friends are oblivious to our struggles. This poem powerfully reflects the notion that everyone faces their proverbial puddles, moments of distress that can overshadow our happiness. Just as the poem illustrates, we must remind ourselves to take a moment to look up from our worries, recognizing that while we might be dealing with discomfort and sadness, others are navigating their own battles too. The metaphor of focusing on our problems like being stuck in a puddle speaks volumes about our tendencies to dwell on negativity. The imagery of friends who are similarly burdened but are either unaware or unable to express their hardships is poignant. It highlights our shared human experience; everyone carries their own weight. Moreover, the poem encourages a shift in perspective. Instead of fixating on the muddy shoes of our worries, we can choose to fill our glasses with optimism. The journey may be arduous, filled with setbacks and falls, yet it is through these challenges that we discover serene lakes of beauty and joy. Engaging with poetry and similar expressive forms can be therapeutic, offering insights and reflections that resonate deeply within us. It can help foster a sense of connection and empathy not just within ourselves but with our peers. Therefore, embracing this wave of shared emotions and looking towards the sunshine, despite the storms, allows us to grow stronger and appreciate the beauty of life’s full picture.

Prickly Cactus Poem 🌵 🤍
I long to be a delicate flower, not a prickly cactus in a barren desert, awaiting the end of drought. Despite my efforts to bloom, saguaros arise, and so do the thorns. Keep your distance, lest you suffer the pain. #poetry #poems #originalpoem #Lemon8Diary

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

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
