Kelcie Blore Poet Free verse

I Used To

I used to think I was,
Worthless, helpless, and needy. 
Now I know I am, 
Worthy, helpful, and deserved. 
I used to believe I deserved
Pain, heartache, and abandonment. 
Now I know I need, 
Love, peace, and people in my life. 
I used to wonder if,
I was ever good enough,
Now I dream for better days. 
I used to feel, 
Anxiety, pain, and more heartache. 
Now I know I can 
Heal, be free, and let go.

akira artly September 25, 2026 at 12:35 PM I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist,and I’d love to discuss the possibility of bringing this poem to life if you're ever interested.
