Mucho gracias.
Muncho dreams.
Magnificent reality.
Nothing comes to a sleeper but a dream.
Hard work beats talent if talent does not want it as bad as me.
All eyes on me.
I have prayed, prepared, then believed in myself.
It is 2023 and I would not want to be any place else.
I came out my shell,
Learned things not for sale,
The best thing in life is to be yourself.
Life may get tough and beat you up.
No matter what, TRUST the process.
Focus on the good, not the bad.
Be grateful for the future, present, and past.
It could always be worst,
Heal from hurt,
Never lose hope.
Always leave room for growth.
Knowledge is power, which requires evolving learning, you know?
It is 2023 I am still the same Old’ me.
I aim to be better every day,
Give to others more then I take.
I am happy with the way I live my life, I can say.
I would not want it any other way.
Continue having faith and patiently wait.
Your dreams are about to turn into reality.
Hard work forever pays.
Greatness is your destination. Destiny is your preservation.
The moment that you are waiting for will come to past, watch and see.
When it does, you are going to laugh and say, “It was worth it, at last, I see!”
Millionaire status
I am very thankful.
I have big dreams.
I will live a magnificent reality

I fell in love with Emily when I was 10.
Her take on love and death made me long to explain it as well as she could.
She made me fall in love with words.
Their power
Every night after I received her poetry
I would sink into dreams of what love and life meant.
What it all could mean
30 years later I am ready to not just read the truth.
I am ready to be the truth.
I am ready to be Emily.
To have my words ring true
To inspire the next Emily.
The next Sarah
It’s beautiful to hear how Emily’s poetry impacted you and continues to inspire you. It’s a true testament to the power of words to shape our lives and perspectives.
Deep sorrow and emptiness inside
When the voices judge and criticize
Not the ones outside, the ones in my mind
Those ones are the worst kind
They know all of my flaws
They remember every single fault
They’re the reason I stay in bed
And ignore everyone’s calls
I started talking back to them
Told them to shut up and go away
That only created more chaos
For me to live in every day
I talk to myself more than anybody else
Call me insane, but what goes on inside my brain
Is what I have to deal with more than anybody else
And I don’t want to be in this pain
Deep confusion, yet hope inside
When the voices open up and realize
Not the ones outside, the ones in my mind
Those are the most important kind
They see all of my flaws
They forgive every single fault
They recognize the self-defeating patterns
And they take time to pause
I started talking back to them
Told them they weren’t that bad
Decided to stop judging myself
And forgave myself for being mad
I talk to myself more than anybody else
Call me insane, but what goes on inside my brain
Is what I have to deal with more than anybody else
And I have nothing to lose, and everything to gain
Deep alignment and happiness inside
When the voices listen and empathize
Not the ones outside, the ones in my mind
Those are the most important kind
They love all of my flaws
Compassion is the new default
They’ve become my new best friends
And it feels much better than it was
I started talking back to them
Told them they’re here to stay
We are creating a beautiful life
That I can enjoy every day
I talk to myself more than anybody else
Call me insane, but what goes on inside my brain
Is what I focus on more than anybody else
And nothing would grow without the rain
Damn, Jena! This is so good! I think we have all fought with that inner voice that’s filled with self-doubt, fear and criticism. But to dig deep and find the strength, confidence and self love to silence that voice is what it really means to tap into your true power and inner strength. This is so well said, and I think so many people, myself…read more
Thank you so much, Lauren! I appreciate your kind words and feedback and am so happy to have a place to share my poetry and feel welcomed! When I first started writing it, I honestly was writing this as a song, but I don’t play any instruments so I’m not quite sure how to get it to that point yet LOL. maybe one day! in the meantime I’m so happy…read more
Very nice poem here. I appreciated the four line stanzas, and the deeply honest self-inquiry. The “too many voices” part coincided with the poems nicely! Looking forward to reading more of yiur work.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read my poem, and I appreciate your kind words. I used to write poetry a lot when I was younger, and I am happy to be getting back into it!
