I wrote a poem“Almost brave “ 💕🦋🪷✨💎

2025/6/17 Edited to

... Read moreIn my poem "Almost Brave", I delve into the intricate nature of love, beyond the sweet and soft, to embrace the challenging emotions that can unravel us. Love is portrayed not just as a feeling but as a journey with risks that require courage and vulnerability. The poem captures the fear of loss and the hesitation to let go of control, stemming from past experiences of being 'almost loved'. As I express the struggle of choosing love amidst insecurities, I remind myself of the importance of taking risks for genuine connection. The line 'I have to believe that love, real love might wreck me a little before it remakes me' underscores the transformative power of love, suggesting that true affection involves embracing both comfort and chaos. This poem serves as an invitation to reflect on our own emotional barriers and the ways we can open ourselves to deeper connections. Poetry becomes the medium for exploring these universal feelings, resonating with anyone who has navigated the tumultuous waters of love.

I hope this helps some people out there feel less alone in their experiences. Shoutout to the one who pulled me out of the darkness. As well as appreciation for the attempts to understand from those who hurt me, even tho it didn’t fix it in the end. #ventpost #betrayed #healingjourney #poet

Bf wrote me a poem after I crashed out 🫠🫠🫠
Okayyyy so my bf’s a poet and wrote me a poem after I pressed him about something on his instagram. Usually don’t have any issues as we’re very transparent or trying to be. But he wrote this while at work and sent it to me during the day. I thought it was super cute and honestly very reassuring
