jenawrites shared a letter in the
Poetry group 2 years, 6 months agoVoices
JenaDeep sorrow and emptiness inside
When the voices judge and criticize
Not the ones outside, the ones in my mind
Those ones are the worst kindThey know all of my flaws
They remember every single fault
They’re the reason I stay in bed
And ignore everyone’s callsI started talking back to them
Told them to shut up and go away
That only created more chaos
For me to live in every dayI 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 painDeep 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 kindThey see all of my flaws
They forgive every single fault
They recognize the self-defeating patterns
And they take time to pauseI started talking back to them
Told them they weren’t that bad
Decided to stop judging myself
And forgave myself for being madI 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 gainDeep alignment and happiness inside
When the voices listen and empathize
Not the ones outside, the ones in my mind
Those are the most important kindThey love all of my flaws
Compassion is the new default
They’ve become my new best friends
And it feels much better than it wasI started talking back to them
Told them they’re here to stay
We are creating a beautiful life
That I can enjoy every dayI 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!

Jenna! It was pleasure to read your work. The structure of your poem really made me want to give my own a more formulaic approach.
Nevertheless, I enjoyed it a lot and encourage you to keep writing at your behest.
Cheers.

Gerald Washington shared a letter in the
Poetry group 2 years, 8 months agoUnseal Yourself
GeraldWelcome to a site called The Unsealed
A place where you can feel at peace and heal
It can be hard to find a place where you can relax
For a lot of sites, the nasty behavior is to the maxFierce arguments and cruel behavior rule the day
Not in The Unsealed, where kindness is here to stay
It may take a while to believe these truths
Trust issues have been a part of you ever since your youthBut you’ll eventually see that you can trust The Unsealed
The people here will applaud for you and cheer
It’s rare to get this kind of support
But on sites like here, you will never feel shortIt’s okay to share your voice
If you’re not ready, that’s okay, it’s your choice
The Unsealed will encourage you to take that step
And slowly but surely, you will finally unseal yourself-
Gerald I love that you love this safe space so much you wrote a letter to it. I’m glad we can have a place where you can let out any type of emotion and have people around to hear it and voice their opinions on the matter through love and understanding because we’ve either all been there or experienced other people going through it. Letters lik…read more

Thank you Kayjah. I’m glad The Unsealed exists. It’s excellent to unleash whatever grievances we have through love and understanding as you mention. I love the way you put it. It’s sad that so many people never get to be heard. I hope The Unsealed continues to find a way to the voiceless so they can use their voice.

Words can inspire, encourage, and empower. They can also comfort and heal. The Unsealed is a safe haven where people can share their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment or ridicule and I’m glad you also feel that way.
-
Most definitely. There’s power in words. I agree with you on The Unsealed. It’s a safe place where people can express themselves through their writing and get encouragement and support from other Unsealers.
