Premium Member Dear Poetry Soup
Dear Poetry Soup, I have known and enjoyed you since 2021 I decided this would be a lifetime connection As you were personable, special and so much fun When l first met you were friendly and comforting You felt like home But sadly you have changed of late You are distant and our relationship is now unknown Poets have become discontent and restless...

The Mirror
When I look in the mirror, I don’t see me; I see who I used to be. A little lost girl who was so abused and so misused, so ashamed of who she was, so helpless and so selfless. Yet somehow, she refused to give in...refused to give up on life. Even though she tried. She used her books to...

Change
I’m nobody’s everything, I’m just everybody’s nothing. How can the world want me to change, When the world has stayed the same?...

Believe Your Heart
So calculated so planned that man, Never telling a soul what he truly comprehends, From years of watching his elders survival, He masterfully knows how to cheer on a revival, And smiles so gracefully to draw ppl in, They all gauk he's so kind as if he lives with no sin, The compliments egg him on and so his ego grows, And...

Eden seed
The sun kissed by mountain goodbyes, That’s how time flies, With hope to rise, And potential born of dedication, Yet drowned beneath trepidation. You’re the descended curse from Eden, Grace misplaced, a soul still bleeding. Ambiguous dreams, not synchronicity, You are the seed of Adam and Eve, Footsteps echo in melancholy. You pray for wealth, not to be holy, Chasing gold, forgetting the slowly. But silence guards...

Virtuous Woman
Inspired to write. Right? Rise up Queen ?? Take in the Scene you have everything you need to succeed no more heartbreaking, blood flowing, anxiety filled recollections of the past. Coming into my womanhood letting go of the pain at last?? This is the year I no longer fight the devil on his level. His ceiling is my...

Change The System
They tell us we’re the future yet 63% of us stand under twenty-five, hungry for more than empty promises. They say unemployment is only 6.8% but when each job vacancy spawns nineteen hopeful faces, those numbers shatter. It’s not our fault alone we’re taught to pass, not to prepare, and leaders build bridges to nowhere. change the system, rebuild classrooms with real tools, forge curricula in...

Premium Member Confronting Shadows
Look closely at shadows following you shading footfalls with a soft Lapis blue Bits of yesterday mixed with tomorrow Shadows reflecting days we could borrow They belie the memories that we find in their whispers of all those left behind moments becoming shadows of our days twisting, turning as our hair fills with greys Shadows of moments that we now regret. Promises that...

Premium Member In These Parts
In these parts, Heavy dews cover fields and lawns; It's very hot and humid in summer; There are no breathtaking views, No snow-covered mountains, no waterfalls; And the weather changes rather rapidly. In these parts, Surrounded by trees, corn, and beans, The canopy covers me from above. A paved road separates me from the beans, And sometimes I'm being held captive, it seems. In these parts, Black...

The End To The Beginning
The End To The Beginning A burdened remorse of forlorn futures, Though ability lies in the hands of the beholder, As rues and woes swallow thy thoughts, But shall'nt one upon change ponder, How beginnings lead to ends, While they waltz with the former, When a drop of reform wallows in self pity, Must'nt one indulge upon polish, Within ourselves lie our flaws, devoid...

Theater Of life
Theater Of Life We met as strangers stranded in the park, Lonely as the night - Wandering in wonder, will the train surface? 1:35am she thought to provide me warmth Open arms, I drowned beneath her chest. We sang, imitating the birds in the far away forest, The wind sang along in uniformity, blended we thought! Utopia was now newly found home,...

Who am I
Who am I that I can choose To pick from my closet different types of shoes Who am I that my feet are bare When I only wish I had shoes to wear Who am I that I have food Whenever I'm hungry to eat Who am I that I am hungry And for food I have to seek Who am I...

Layers of Intention
Coming back to recapture and constitute whys, To understand our train of thought, the path we seek with our eyes, The external influence that suggests and surrounds, Take it all away and what have you found, Lay your heart bare and what do you see, Under all the layers of your reasoning, What you grip onto so tightly in order to...
