Thorns mark the stem – Boundaries shaped by time. #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity #blueskypoetry

It is a responsibility Of the highest kind – The shaping of a life, That will one day Walk into the world, Carrying your influence In their hearts. #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity #blueskypoetry

Is home a place? A building? A feeling? Or is home you? #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity #blueskypoetry

Poets, What are your two go to flowers for symbolism? They could represent any emotion, person, any form of symbolism. #poetry #writing #poetrycommunity #poem #poets

Light reflects on the water, So our thoughts reflect In the quiet of the night. #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity #blueskypoetry

The numb came, In time. Slow. Unavoidable. #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity #blueskypoetry

#poem #blueskypoetry #writing

And beneath it all, The beast within — Always there, Always hungry — Begging to rise, To unleash the taste of pain. #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity #blueskypoetry

The rest is shadow, Hovering in my mind, The shape of everything You tore away. #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity #blueskypoetry

I am broken, Forever changed. Carrying truth and pain — In the same heart. #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity #blueskypoetry

#poem #blueskypoetry #writing

I sit in a quiet room, Waiting for a stranger To measure the damage I already lived through. #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity #blueskypoetry

Now I burn, From the inside out. Smoke rising, From what was supposed to bloom. #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity #blueskypoetry

Fear stands with me, Turning shadows into a familiar silhouette, Taunting me with what I already know. #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity #blueskypoetry

#poem #blueskypoetry #writing

Resentment clings to my mind, Quiet but relentless. Chipping away at my heart, Distorting the facts until — They fit its story. #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity #blueskypoetry

The air clears, the sky breaks. Droplets. A wall of cold. It falls straight through me, Unnamed, but its meaning is clear. #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity #blueskypoetry

Shame. Regret. Grief. Remorse. Anger. Love. All of it stacked on the same beam Until the metal finally bent. #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity #blueskypoetry

All the guilt of my actions gather, And pull at the edges of my mind. #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity #blueskypoetry

Love isn’t fantasy. Love is courage. #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity #blueskypoetry

One kiss — Not passion, Not desire, A clean moment Of truth. #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity #bkueskypoetry

My heart keeps reaching For a life you already left, Like it hasn’t learned How to stop bleeding yet. #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity #blueskypoetry

How I wish I were a rose — Plucked, and carried to you. My brief life ending, In the warmth of your embrace. #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity #blueskypoetry

Can a poem be a confession? Not to justify, Not to excuse, Not to be pitied. Just to admit what I’ve done, To lay the truth bare, Without flinching, To accept whatever comes after. #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity #boueskypoetry

I stand in the dark, The lantern of my hope Flickering low. #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity #blueskypoetry

#poem #blueskypoetry #writing **Alcohol Warning**

I try to walk steadily, To be strong, But the floor tilts With every new change. #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity #blueskypoetry

We chase it. We waste it. We swear we’ll do better with it. #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity #blueskypoetry

When once the heart Grows unsteady, The world leans With its sway. #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity #blueskypoetry

Lies come easy — Quick shelters, Soft covers, Shadows that pretend To protect. #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity #blueskypoetry

#poem #blueskypoetry #writing

She wants depth and discovery, Intimacy and curiosity — A mind that opens, A heart that answers. #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity #blueskypoetry

Where is home, When the place I live No longer knows me? #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity #blueskypoetry

#poem #blueskypoetry #writing

And in the quiver Before each swing, The pendulum grieves The distance it helped create. #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity #blueskypoetry

It takes from — The ones who love. The ones who trust. The ones who care. #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity #blueskypoetry

#poetry #blueskypoetry #writing

Why do I still do this to myself? I know. I understand. And yet — #poetry #poem #poetrycommunity #blueskypoetry

I want to forgive, to let go, Before the bitterness owns me — To not let it control me. #poetry #poem #poetrycommunity #blueskypoetry

My heart is fractured, And every crack Is shaped by my own hands. #poetry #poem #poetrycommunity #blueskypoets #freeverse #writing
