Selflove Poems
Detention
by Somali Mukherjee
Who can detain me?
Unless I allow myself?
It's all right in here...
Let's Be The Moon
by Sagar Mistry
You're the moon of the night sky, waxing and waning,
Lost among the stars, hurt and aching;
Every fortnight you grow, to light up the night sky,
Every fortnight you die, to get lost in the dark so high;
You're not a perfection, blemishes all over,
Sometimes loved sometimes ignored, by the drunk and the sober;
Scared of your own scars, you hide in the day,
Conscious of what zillion eyes might say;
But don't you ever forget, who you are,
A unique moon, among a zillion stars;

Brainstorm
by Callie Hayes
I despise the ocean
but this girl in my head does not
She is not afraid to love
and she is not afraid to rot
And if it can't be perfect
then it shan't be done at all
Tip back in your chair
Slam your head against the wall

Halfway to Heaven
by Chrissy Davis
One last day in this neighborhood.
Leaving behind years of memories both bad and good.
I’m so tired of being misunderstood.
I wouldn’t stay here if I could.
I’m halfway to Heaven.
I’ve already been through hell.
Yeah, I’m halfway to Heaven. I don’t even know myself.
Seems like everybody wants to control me.
Telling me how my life is supposed to be.
I’m tired of living in captivity.

that love
by Miki Vermeulen
How lucky I am to have experienced such pure, genuine love,
Which showed me what true love should look and feel like.
I might not currently receive that love,
But one day, I will find someone who can give me that love eternally.
I love intensely,
I used to think that was a flaw, but I now see it as my best trait.
Because I finally love myself,
And though I am saddened by losing my other half,
I am learning how to be whole alone.

72. Hesitantly, I asked
by Kea Campbell
Hesitantly, I asked,
"Will you be mine?"
I want to love you during every phase; in fact, I always have.
Through persisting sickness and prosperous health.
Through devastating tragedies and fruitful fortune.
Through hopeless wanders and sincere belongings.
I don't look past your flaws; in fact, I know them well.
I hear tiredness in your voice, because you spent too much energy on others.

49. What Could Be
by Kea Campbell
I know you didn't notice how cold I easily become,
But it's because of the world in my head,
Where it's just the two of us.
I know you aren't aware of all of you that there is to love,
But if you were to take a moment and look through my eyes,
You'd realize that you are worth more than everything you will ever want.
I know I haven't come to terms yet, that we are both too young,
But I'm going to stay here a little longer,

The Alien's Embrace
by Dhritiraj Das
Walking down the giant road
Lights ever bright, beings unknown
I'm the alien, displaced and lone
In this strange realm I can't call home
Adrift in a sea where I'll never belong
Peering at fractured reflections, feeling so wrong
But then a few souls, with welcoming grace
Reached out to this alien, fashioned a place

The Garden
by Natalie Harmon
Walking into the garden
with my third eye open
Destined for all the dirt
that will seep in
between my toes
To watch every sunrise
and every sunset
surrounded by vivacious greenery
