I love how you expressed that the joy you bring yourself did not come overnight; it took a lot of time to grow these seeds and get to where you are and I love how you took us on a journey with this piece! I also love the way you dissected our social systems and analyzed how our love gets lost in the beliefs others set up for us. We should get to love ourselves for exactly who we are and this poem is a lovely reminder of that 🙂 thank you for sharing!

I absolutely love stars so I was immediately pulled in 🙂 “I may look like I’m small, but to tell you the truth, I’m big enough to reach for the stars” really sets the tone for a story about overcoming, and this is such a strong opening line! Wonderful job 🙂

Aww, this poem is a wonderful reminder that the love is ALWAYS there. Sometimes we get a little disconnected, but love always finds its way back. I love how you told yourself that this time you’d let yourself soar. You absolutely deserve to shine and I’m so glad you shared your story 🙂 I also really love your flow!

I looove how you’ve learned to honor yourself! This is something I struggle with so it’s a nice reminder to know that sharing feelings are acts of self love or leaving a situation is an act of self love! Putting your needs first is wonderful and I love how proud you are of yourself 🙂 Keep writing!

I love the repetition! Repeating the phrase “You will rise” really helped drive home your message and added power to your story. There’s so much beauty in the slowness of life and your poem really captured that 🙂

I love the way you celebrated all the “imperfections” about yourself. Society always tells us that certain things are good or bad, but really there is beauty in every part of us. All of our forms deserve to be cherished and it’s beautiful to see you doing that in this piece!

You’re absolutely right; love IS a non-stop process. It’s so easy to get lost in goals and forget that self-love is like eating or breathing. I love the literary devices you used and you have such a strong and unique flow. I really love this piece 🙂

Most definitely, it’s very easy to lose sight of self-love. I love the self-love comparison you made to eating or breathing. And thank you very much, I appreciate your kind words. 🙂

This is so beautiful. I love loving people and I think it’s so beautiful that humans get to love each other so deeply. This type of love is special; to love someone so deeply that you need to create new ways to express it. This is such a warm story.

It’s so warm to grow up and wish we could comfort our younger selves, but it’s even better to know that our younger selves still live inside of us and we can always give that love back to ourselves 🙂 This is a lovely reminder of all that we overcome in life and the raw aspect of this piece makes me feel very connected. Keep writing!

I really loved reading this. I can deeply relate to trying to make a relationship work so badly at the expense of myself. It’s so easy to think “maybe they’ll just understand” and hold on to that hope even when you consistently get shown otherwise. This poem is a wonderful reminder of how joyous it is to love ourselves instead 🙂

I love the way you highlighted the beauty of choice! This poem reminded me that we can passively exist or we can exist because we choose to. I think it’s so wholesome to live through seemingly insurmountable situations and still choose to continue living. Wonderful job!

I LOVE the way you write! You string words together so beautifully. I love poems that are interesting and different and between the words, the descriptions, and the flow, this poem was definitely that! “I’m tired of battling THERE schizoid antics through covert tactics that over time made me walk further away from the beautiful parts of me.” tickled a part of my brain 🙂 This was a wonderful read

I really love the idea of loving yourself just because. I wrote a poem about this prompt just for fun and that’s exactly what I wrote about! We don’t need long lists of why we deserve love from ourselves; we are love! We’re all love and this poem is a beautiful reminder of that 🙂

I love when people use words I have to look up 🙂 poetry is all about learning and finding new ways to express ourselves so I’m definitely going to be thinking about proxima centauri all night, and probably doing more research hehehe. Thank you for using your story to talk about your unique human experience, this is beautiful!

My old high school teacher always used to say “good things come to those who wait” so I immediately felt connected to this poem! This has a very light and uplifting flow to it. I feel like I’m on a little boat looking at the moon when I read this poem 🙂 I also love lines like “aches inside my bones” and “looked for you in stars”. Instead of telling me, you really let me FEEl the lines you were writing.

I LOVEEE the three introductions about the flower girl, fair maiden, and medicine woman. This poem clearly shows that you are very creative and have a very expressive mind! This feels like a story about growing up and the connections you made make this a really strong piece 🙂
