Poetry for people who could use a little kindness
Salutations, friend! I had to pause when typing out that year, cos I can't believe we're at the end of 2024 already. Life has been crazy this year. I have so much going on, and there might be some changes coming soon.
I've got four big life things I want to talk about.
(For Jackie)
Every day you pull a new fact out of your head and amaze me with it Is there anything you don't know?
Every time I say “I didn't know that” but you did Is there anything you don't know?
You want to do the right thing So you work hard to know what the right thing is and tell me with all the confidence in the world Is there anything you don't know?
I know something you don't know
Did you know that I feel safe around you?
Did you know that you always look stunning?
Did you know that I love your snarky sense of humor?
I bet you didn't
But you do know the most important thing of all
I love you
(For Dax)
If you told me to run away I'd run for two seconds then turn around and smile at you because I love to look at you
If you told me to escape when you were holding me tight I'd snuggle against you because I love to be held by you
If you told me to ignore you I'd wait patiently for you to talk and pay close attention while you did because I love to listen to you
If you told me you loved me I'd believe you each and every time because I love you too
(For Bea)
You bark when you're happy With the cutest smile I've ever seen You're an odd one and I love it
The pure joy I see in you talking about all sorts of things You're a passionate one and I love it
Even when you know what you want I still have to pry it out of you You're a stubborn one and I love it
The love in your eyes when you're looking at me You're a me one and I love you
Teardrops Born of overwhelming joy As the real me emerges
A sunny smile Gazing at a girl's hand tipped in sparkling blue
I never imagined That I could possess the beauty that I see in the mirror
My heart is bursting I'm consumed by love for the girl I've become
The girl I was always meant to be
If you don't speak no one can know what's on your mind how you're feeling what you need right now
If you never take up space no one can know the wonderful things you do all those sparkling dreams you dream who you really are
If you always run away you will never know all the joy of staying the love and warmth of others the feeling of belonging
Please speak up; I want to know your heart Please take up space; I want to know your mind Please don't run away; I want you in my life Please let me know you; I want the chance to love you
I fell to pieces Crushed under the weight of life
I didn't know what to do Lost Scared Alone
I wanted to end it all to give up to bleed my life away
But I am still here
I didn't carry on for anyone else to finish some project for the sake of responsibility
I am here
for ME
I am growing and I won't give up on that I am finally me And I will live to be me
I am beautiful and bright I am Sky Starlight
And I am still here

Get loved feel accepted for who you are without condition
Get adored feel absolutely worshipped for what you love doing without apology
Get cherished feel wanted and needed by the ones you love every single day
I hope you feel like this all the time because even if you struggle to believe it I know with absolute certainty
That you deserve it
I love to smile at the pretty girl smiling back at me
Her hair is bright and fluffy Creeping down along her cheek
Her brown eyes gateways into her kind soul Bright and beautiful Just like her
And that smile She's not used to it yet Feeling genuine happiness coming from her and no one else
I love to smile at the pretty girl smiling back at me from behind the mirror
You taught me How to step back and breathe How to love unconditionally How to take breaks
You were there When I missed the bus When my son was born When something in my house broke
You accepted me Through every shortcoming Through every breakdown Through every change
You are My support My friend My dad
