Write a poem or letter about one way you feel misunderstood 2 months, 4 weeks ago
You don’t know ME
I am loving, I am caring I am kind
But you don’t see because insecurities make you blindI give freely; I love hard
But my sincerity you disregardMy attitude is one of servitude
To you this may seem odd
But it’s a reflection of being a child of GODI give props when props are due
To this I will stay trueYou want titles, a pat on the back and accolades
When I comment you think I’m throwing shadeI see the potential in you that others overlook
Your eyes show you have a magnetic hookI apologize at times my words may be sharp and blunt
But it’s 2025 and there is no time to frontLife is short, we only passing thru
Time to wake up and do what we gotta doI’m a straight shooter
But what you don’t know is that I’m a mentor and tutorI give as much as I take
But I don’t have time to be fakeDon’t have time to be sugar coating
For the world to be out their boastingThe way I live, the way I talk, the way I act
This all real it’s just straight up factsNo one wants to see me for who I am
Always thinking I’m running a scamAll I want is for everyone to live and love better
Come together so we can make some of this cheddarNo matter what I do or how I try
Someone always twisting the truth into a lieWhy can’t you see, I just wanna be me
I’m just a real sista from the hood
That’s been mis-judge and mis-understoodSo, just let me be
Cause you don’t know meVoting is open!

Lois, this is such an empowering poem! You are so right that sometimes people’s insecurities make them blind to your attributes. I am glad that you always choose to be true to yourself even when it makes others uncomfortable. This shows your strength and character. Thank you for sharing your experience!

Write a poem about your goals for 2025 5 months ago
Splendid Year
Movable joints, as if freshly greased.
My elbows and knees will move easily while I watch Sunsets in the East.
Silver shafts peak through honey brown, as if touched by a wand.
My hair will be healthy and shine even if I once was blonde.
Adrenaline shifts down to lower gears, even grinding to a halt.
My anxiety will melt away as I drink a strawberry malt.
Numbers steadily climb as they reach heights never dreamt of.
My bank account balance will stay full like the belly of a content dove.
Floating high into the clouds, light as a feather.
My heart will pitter patter as I read countless love letters.
Gravity bends light, and one can see for miles from atop the tallest mountain.
My pride will exude for my child from every cell as if it’s a perpetual fountain.
Spears, bullets and missiles soar through the atmosphere yet are deflected.
My armor will hold steady, and my inner peace will be protected.
Wood, stone, and concrete form a cocoon around a soft and warm oasis.
My heart will be content, as I learn to be satisfied with life’s basics.
Bombs diffuse as ancient frequencies encompass all that exists.
My ultimate wish comes true as I learn to surrender to life and simply no longer resistVoting is closed

Piper, I love how in this poem you focus on cultivating a year full of happiness and contentment. I feel like we spend so much time thinking about how we can be better when we should focus on how our lives are already beautiful. By letting go and refusing to resist life, I hope that you are able to live like never before. Thank you for inspiring me!

Thank you Emmy!
I am so happy to hear you enjoyed my poem.
Yes, isn’t it lovely to focus on the positives? Not always easy…but lovely nonetheless. At 54 I’ve learned that gratitude is the secret to life. ♥️Write me back Subscribe  or  log in to reply

"Making Travel Easy"
2025, this is my goal
Stay 10 toes down and not foldWhat’s my goal

This is my passion
