Self worth Poems
Poison in my Veins
by Kimani Hare
Your pretension exhausts me
With your absurd actions superseding your illogical thoughts
Fallacies fiddling your holier than thou
Yet I remain loathsomely chained
Familial blood eradicating the spirit
If blood is thicker than water
Then let Tylenol dilute me and be my keeper

Shattered Echoes
by siwar ben amara
Daddy, where were you when I was just a child,
A perfect little girl, eager and mild?
I didn't ask for much—just a look, a touch—
But you slipped away; was I asking too much?
Were you running from her, from her bitter flame?
But what about me—did you even know my name?
I lied to everyone, said we were close,

Don't tell me
by Arvin Dassad
Don't tell me it's okay,
I don't deserve it that way,
Don't tell me your just fine,
Fine was always mine,
You own the words in my throat,
A creamy spatter,
What could be
What was
I can't be here
I can't be without you

You're My Deep Breath
by Frangipani Rhett
Today my child slammed the door too hard
And I took a deep breath and thought of you
You set the standard for how to show love
And so I shifted towards compassion
Last Sunday I met up with a friend for coffee
And she talked for so long, I got bored
I took a deep breath and thought of you
And remembered the presence you gave me

My House
by Samuel Cody
My house,
My house is a wondrously enticing mystery!
My house.
My house has no exterior, but is only built within.
My house grows from a seed, cascading ever inward.
My house!
It is in my house that I am truly free.
In my house, I tear myself from flesh,
Like bark stripped from a deeply rotting tree.
