Self Care Poems

Listen Daughter

Listen, dear daughter, with heart and soul,
For the wisdom I impart, is a guiding role.
Love begins with loving God, and loving yourself too,
For self-love is the foundation, on which all else is built anew.

Believe me, you're special, a gem so rare,
Don't lose yourself, in the noise, and the glare.
Don't be a doormat, that anyone can

Beauty Wasted

A visage of perfection, a form divine,
Yet, in the pursuit of wealth, your beauty's declined,
You've traversed paths of passion, with many a soul,
Sleeping with strangers, your beauty's lost its goal.

The ones who sought to cherish, to love and to adore,
You chased them away, with a heart that yearned for more,
You craved the lavish lifestyle, the

I Remember

I remember! I recall how good– no,
how great it feels to feel so good!
I remember the bright colours 
in the rainbows after a storm.
I remember the trees, the rivers, the critters, 
the peace of our world.
I remember how to get excited, 
to have goals and plans– fantastic dreams!
I remember the love I feel from my

Being Happy With Yourself

They always have said become one with your self
Be your own happiness instead of needing someone else

Don't allow anyone to be your strength or your lifeline 
Be content with yourself by having good me time

When you think about it those statements are true and less stressful 
Less drama and misunderstandings which are painful

No need to

It's Time That I Focus On Me

I always had that inner quality of putting others first
I'll become anything needed from a mom to a nurse
I'm so busy with others that i don't get what i need
I think it's about that time that i just focused on me
Venture out and go places and see more sights
Enjoy my own bonfire along with the

Have you ever tried choking? He asked nonchalantly.
“No,” she said. *with a wrinkled nose of disapproval*

“Want to try it?” *His approach couldn't hide his excitement* 
“Ok,” she said, absent mindedly running her index finger over his lips.

“you  can  choke  me,” she added slowly,
 “if I can stab you repeatedly

Leave Room in Your Heart

leave room in your heart
for even more love
like cracks in old stone
still reaching above
what’s broken can bloom
if you give it the air
what’s heavy can heal
if you’re willing to care
don’t seal every door
don’t stitch every seam
some hands were made
to rebuild your dreams
leave room in your heart
even battered and rough
there’s always more light
if you leave it enough

Happy International Women's Day

She rises with the morning sun,
A warrior’s heart, a battle won.
Through storm and silence, light and shade,
She builds the world, yet stays unswayed.

Her hands have shaped both stone and sky,
Yet whispers doubt still pass her by.
But let them fade, for she is strong,
A force of love, a battle song.

Not bound by chains, nor fear, nor

Detention

Who can detain me?
Unless I allow myself?
It's all right in here...

No Scars To Your Beautiful

In the darkness of the night, a glimmer of hope shines bright
Guiding you through the shadows, leading you to the light
You may feel lost and alone, but remember you're not far
There's a hope that's waiting for you in the dark

You may feel insecure, unsure of your worth
But let me tell you, darling, you're perfect from

What makes the girl

Natural

Some think it’s the beauty that makes the girl. They think it’s the glitz, glam, diamonds, and pearls. Others think that it’s her curls. Though they may whirl and swirl, they just don’t have that perfect twirl. Is it the money that makes the girl? Materialistic, but still a part of her world. No, it’s

The Giver

When you are constantly giving
And someone is constantly taking
You have to ask yourself
How much do you give before it takes from you?

Be Free

My heart was crying out
And blood has poured over
I've invested so much in us
And now I'm the wounded soldier
I am over it all and I'm no longer trying
Now you are alone and the only one crying 
I've decided hearts divided was the best recommendation
My best choice was for me to be my own representation
I realized

Finding My Way

Am I okay, or am I not?
Will anyone see the good I've got?
Life can be tough, people can be mean,
But I'll find my way, and be seen.

Labels and judgments, they're not fair,
But I'll keep going, I'll learn to care.
Even if I feel like I'm in the rough,
I'll prove I'm good, and that's enough.
