Becoming
This year, I walk with seeds in hand,
To cultivate dreams, to grow and stand.
A garden of truth, where courage takes root,
With love as my anchor and self-worth as my fruit.
I’ll learn from the earth, her wisdom and grace,
Craft healing remedies in this sacred space.
A student of nature, her word I’ll heed,
To nurture my spirit and plant what I need.
The voice inside, once soft, now clear,
Will echo with purpose, unfazed by fear.
Through words, I’ll inspire, through truth, I’ll ignite,
A beacon of hope, a source of light.
Steps once faltered, now steady and bold,
Guided by faith, by strength I uphold.
The past may have scarred, but its lessons remain,
A testament of healing through joy and through pain.
I’ll craft my own path, a website, a name,
A space to empower, to stoke the flame.
Sharing my story, my trials, my climb,
Proving that healing transcends space and time.
For family and self, my heart will expand,
As I teach, as I love, as I firmly stand.
I’ll honor the past, its lessons, its pain,
And greet each new day with gratitude’s refrain.
2025, a year to embrace,
With goals that align, with a steady pace.
A journey of purpose, of dreams redefined,
An alchemist’s vision, both dark and light intertwined.Voting is closed

This is such a powerful poem! I love that you are planting the “seeds” to nurture personal growth. My favorite lines are “Sharing my story, my trials, my climb, proving that healing transcends space and time.” I agree that true healing goes beyond what can be measured and is instead a testament of one’s inner strength. Thank you for sharing your work and for inspiring me today!

Thank you Emmy!
When I was 19 I had to learn how to walk again, from an injury in a car accident. So my favorite line is,
“Steps once faltered, now steady and bold,”
I appreciate all your words, Emmy.

Wow, I really loved this piece! Your flow and rhyme intertwined beautifully, and I related big time to that idea of incorporating light and darkness at the end. I’m all about that reciprocal and realistic vision in which these two do not fight each other but rather relate to create something more full and beautiful. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you so much ❤️
I have always been someone that tries to see the good in every situation because i know thats the only way to truly keep going and keep moving forward. God has taught me over the past couple years that when you can’t s see the light in the darkness…then be the light. Then in every situation you are put in, you are transmuting that darkness to light. You have to respect the darkness though…
And the light is always truth…even if it hurts, it’s still the light:)
