I am more than shadows cast against your walls, More than whispers echoing through empty halls. You see my scars like chapters of defeat, But they're just footprints on my victory's street. In your world of perfect shapes and measured lines, I am the curve that never quite aligns. You turn away as if my truth might stain the pristine picture you struggle to maintain. Yes, I bleed when arrows find their mark. Yes, I weep when daylight turns to dark. But tell me why my heart should count for less When it beats the same beneath this mess? Once I held galaxies within my hands, Now I catch dust like falling hourglass sands. You take and take until the well runs dry, Then wonder why there's darkness in my sky. But listen close—beneath this shroud of night, There burns a flame you cannot dim or blight. I am not your mirror, nor your shame to bear. I am the storm, the lightning in the air. So let me stand undefined and free, In all the glory of simply being me. For in this skin—scarred, broken, real—I find the truth that time cannot steal: I am enough. I am complete. I am me.

Welcome to MPS 🕊🙏🏻
Well thank you, arqios
You are welcome , Friendship 🙏🏻Ciao 🕊
A poem with deep feeling that has marvelous flow and rhyme but more feeling that relates the acceptance of who one is. Someone that realizes that who one is does not depend upon physical characteristics or the thoughts of others. A beautiful declaration of faith in oneself and one's internal value. Most lovely and a fave
Thank you very much for your kind words, Soren. Most of all, I appreciate your understanding that everyone is correct and that acceptance of who someone is matters. It's important to me that everyone is treated equally, no matter what they look like.
its good
Thank you for your kind words, broke
oh youre welcome 😉
i really enjoyed reading this and i like how it emphasizes the idea that one's worth is not diminished by scars, struggles, or imperfections but is instead defined by the authenticity and richness of one's being. It has rich and evocative metaphor to convey deep emotional truths. scars, footprints galaxies and dust showing contrasts between pain and potential, loss and existence.
Great job

You are very welcome
Penned with great feeling and lovely imagery.
I am enough. I am complete. I am me.
Now there is so much positivity in that line and wouldn’t it be wonderful if we all felt that way instead of nit picking on our own flaws. Speaks to me of confidence, wisdom and contentment. I’ll drink to that. Wonderful poem.
Thank you so much for your kind words,Cassie58, it's a true story of myself, it comes from my heart how the world sees me, Yet not how I see me. Have an amazing day.
