Best Oneself Poems

A Picture Of Oneself contains not too much to tell,
Except the package showing that in which they dwell.
This is the only purpose a picture has and does,
Telling nothing about the person who is or was.

A Picture Of Oneself shows nothing that's inside.
Who is the real...

Dear Heavenly Father, 

Please forgive me for unconfessed sins of omission, transgressions of commission, and the iniquity in my own heart. I confess that I have sinned in all of these areas. Please help me to want to truly repent of those specific transgressions that...

Calling oneself a poet takes unmitigated gall and guts  
And he or she should be prepared 
To throw oneself off a high cliff
Or under the proverbial bus
Whenever the expression of innermost thoughts,
Emotions, ideas or beliefs are concerned 
Those who lay it all out on...

To see oneself in another is Beauty
Like sunlight through water droplets--
For it means we are not alone.
That as we travel through this "Never"
There is someone who cares

Finally,

After several decades of heroic battles, which, unfortunately,

Most have ended in innumerable humiliating defeats,

Proud is he his freedom to declare today

For

At last, he succeeded in subjugating all his passions and 

By doing so, he triumphantly took over, the control of 

Himself!

Each one of us is three things:
What he thinks he is
What others thinks he is
And
What he really is.

What one thinks he is,  certainly he is not,
for
he doesn't have knowledge of his real self.

What others think that he is,  by all means he is...

An evanescent bouquet of skewed briars,
is how a  tinsel laden tawdry essence wickedly unfolds ,
scuppered signpost to a fetid  human  compost,
faint light pendant on soul crushed quantum migrant,
who might chortle at vivid veil flimsy vacuum,
skirt recklessly around  bogus symbols,
peer behind the...

What of loving oneself?
Ponder three allusions
and think through self-love...
Thou shall not kill ever,
don't take what is not yours, 
neither should you deceive.

So say I to you -
you, workaholics -
Don't put your own life
in the grave working
eighty-hour work weeks.

Don't rob yourself
of the pleasure
of true success -

To be oneself
To be oneself more
Deeply and freely
How oneself is intended
To be
Is truly liberating
And brings about
Calm and inner peace....

On a broken pedestal
Under estimate our worth
Run away from problems

Wishing for the impossible
Open to resistance, not change
Relish in misery
Self mutilation
Trust no one

Enjoy little of life's pleasures
Not negotiable
Energy exhausted on nonsense
Making mountains out of eroded sand dunes
Yes, you....

~ Stepping Inside Oneself ~

 Uncertainty shadows the hollow the stream…
A stroll through a battlefield of broken dreams…
Pieces scattered from walls to ceilings…
A puzzle of sins and subconscious feelings…
It climbs from the ashes of burnt redemption…
Inside a prison of one that bleeds salvation…
Behind ones soul...

We often strangle ourselves within,
Quietly, choked and suffocated within. 
Dare no one can read it,
Not even a close one dared to feel it.
The load that has been weighing heavy,
The grueling and strenuous task to carry. 
We ignore the pain and soreness to feel less petrified....

You ask, how can we know one is great?
Allow me a moment to extrapolate.
It’s the summation of things in a life that were not fate,
Being oneself is the great escape....

When I shun people easily at will
When relatives and friends get alienated 
When finding time for others is no priority 
When dropping schedules no longer matter 

When not keeping standards don’t  mean a thing  
When attention span has lost its stretch 
When listening...
