The reason I wrote this book of poetry was so I could help brighten someone’s day. I wrote these poems when I was younger and I always had this need to express how I felt, but I could only do so through writing. And when I did, I always wrote when I was sad. I didn’t want that to be my poetry’s focus, so I challenged myself to only write about positivity and many people have loved the motivation and inspiration hey have found after reading this poetry book. Here are two poems from the book:
Finding Yourself
As I lay there staring at the ceiling
Wondering where I am
Seeing these foreign sheets
Covering this body of mine
“Is it mine?” I wonder
As I make my way to the mirror
Walking feels different
The way my feet pound to the ground
Making a lifeless thud
Finally facing myself
“Unbelievable,” I say
And my voice, my voice echoes
Like the words are far away
Studying myself now
My nose, my hair, my eyes
Not me, who have I become
One night I’m me, and the next,
I’m what people try to mold
I’m not this imposter
Drowning in the terrors
The pressure to be perfect
The constant critique
For me to see the real me again
I need to escape from here
Find my own path
New Chapter
From the day I was born
To the day they mourn
The me they see
Is the me I’ll be
I never lose who I am
Especially not to my fam
I strive to make the people I love happy
Even the ones who have made me unhappy
You know why?
Because I try not to shy
Away from a challenge
I want to keep balance
Without the equivalence
Of the excitement and boredom
There is no freedom
The choices I have made have kept no shackle
Around my abilities, though they tackle
At my finest moments even
I could have stopped believin’
The reasons I do what I do
Are all for a purpose, only understood by a few
And with support and guidance
I will make an appearance
To this new chapter ahead of me
Am I ready? In my eyes I believe so
