Insecurity — The Poet Sky

Mirror, Mirror

Thu, 23 Jan 2025 11:00:00 +0000

Mirror, Mirror, what do I see? My own self-loathing reflected back at me I've changed so much, and yet all I do is look in you and fret My face isn't the same at all I'm even learning how to walk tall but I can only see what I believe: this self-doubt that never wants to leave So I'll repeat day after day the affirmations I've learned to say in the hopes that I'll make it real that it will become the way I feel I'll cast away these feelings blue the feelings, Mirror, Mirror, I can't hide from you

Let Me Know You

Thu, 05 Dec 2024 11:00:00 +0000

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

Our Best Guess

Thu, 12 Sep 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Some people have their act together easily handling everything Life throws at them

But you don't know what's going on behind the curtains inside their minds

They might be giving it their best guess struggling to keep it together for everyone else's sake

It's hard to not compare yourself to other people But do try to remember

that everyone's human no one's perfect and we're all just giving life

Our best guess

I Am Important

Thu, 05 Sep 2024 10:56:41 +0000

All my life over and over people have told me that I'm not important

They ignored what I had to say Stayed ignorant of my feelings Refused to understand me Scolded me for talking about my problems

It wasn't everyone but it was enough people to make me feel like I didn't matter

It's so much easier to hold it all inside rather than facing that rejection from the ones I love

But I must remember that the people that love me...

Want me to share the things I love care about how I'm feeling work hard to understand me try to help with my problems

They care about me They love me And to them

I am important

New Words

Thu, 29 Aug 2024 10:13:14 +0000

We were built differently We work in ways that so many don't understand So they called us names

Weird Creepy Disgusting Wrong Broken Burden

They said those words Over and over and over Until we believed them We started calling ourselves that

But they're wrong We are not broken We are not burdens No, we are

Kind Trusting Loving Silly Beautiful Special Different

If they can keep saying all those mean words Then why can't we say all those kind words?

Let's use new words to describe who we really are And keep using them over and over again until we believe them

Let Your Rainbow Shine

Mon, 18 Dec 2023 11:00:00 +0000

It may never be easy to share who you really are Will it feel good to open up? Or will it only create a new scar? People have pushed you away Loved ones have put you down But hiding away the real you makes you feel as if you’ll drown

Now you’ve fallen, ready to give up convinced that no one will accept you But if you listen to me now I’ll tell you something new

I love the real you From now until the end of time You are a beautiful, sparkling rainbow So please, let your rainbow shine

Who You Really Are

Mon, 11 Dec 2023 11:00:00 +0000

It’ll take days, months, years To search and discover who you are You may find out in your backyard Or you may have to travel quite far When you finally figure it out Many people may disagree They’ll tell you that you’re wrong That that isn’t who you’re supposed to be

But no one else in the whole world Has exactly your life or your voice Other people don’t know the real you The person you are isn’t their choice

Always remember that you are beautiful one in a million, a golden star so please don’t let anyone stop you from being who you really are

I Love You for Being You

Mon, 04 Dec 2023 11:00:00 +0000

I know you think I don’t know you That the version I see is a lie That you can never change or grow No matter how hard you try You remember your mistakes They consumed you long ago Even though you’re trying to be better Looking for light that you can show

Yet still, you live in fear That despite all the good you’ve done It would only take a single mistake For it to all become undone

But I love you right now And no matter what happens or what you do I will still love you tomorrow Because I love you for being you

How Brightly You Shine

Mon, 27 Nov 2023 11:00:00 +0000

You can’t always see the light you wield How brightly it shines how far it reaches You can’t see the people that bask in its glow that are healed and helped that smile at it

You can’t always see how it changes the lives of those around you how it helps those lost in the dark

Even though you can’t see it the rest of us can so when you're down, we can remind you how brightly you shine

The Ones Meant to Stay

Mon, 23 Oct 2023 10:00:00 +0000

You made a friend You grew close together Spending so much time living your lives with one another But as time went on You grew apart They drifted away leaving you with a broken heart

That became your story Told over and over again Of close friends leaving you Until you thought you’d never win

Here’s the truth Not everyone is meant to stay But somewhere out there are the people who will never stray

Don’t give up hope Always be real and true You’ll find the ones meant to stay And they’ll love you for you
