Self Discovery Poems - Poems about Self Discovery

Self-discovery
Self-discovery I have been robbed of the joy well deserved, The golden confidence beneath, The inner peace. I have been robbed of a voice, treasured Caged, and echoing behind my rib cage. What a long journey of discovery, Discovery of wealth carried in me. And now I am a walking art, Built from fragments of my broken past. I peeped through my destiny, In between blank...

In the mirror's gaze
Each day I stand before the glass, A meeting where truths unmask. She waits for me with patient eyes, Reflecting what I oft despise. She shows me depths I never knew, What I’ve ignored, what I misconstrue. Her silent empathy, her tender care, She cries for me, always there. “It is okay, mate,” her whispers say, Guiding me through shadows grey. At times I hate,...

The Unmoored Ship
The Unmoored Ship I waltz through the ship, Yet not dancing like the eerie drizzle in my mind, While footprints dissolve into the quiet embrace of the deck. The laborers pace back and forth, Hauling their burdens— Just like me, struggling to steady my steps, Misaligned with my thoughts. I beg the tranquil wind Not to whisper my prophecy to the sky, But the sky...

Personal Inconsistencies
Consistency is key isn't it not? Then why does it feel like a chore rather than a reward? Nobody gives you a road map on life So why are there so many pressures from wrong to right? Inconsistency has been a part of my whole life Whether I knew it or not But that's the thing Little girls and little boys are...

Self-Discovery
I am Love, Love is I Freefalling, below the sky Slow rotting, I know it's time Unthawing, my countless eyes Still wonder, who am I Authentic, no disguise Heart empty, I hope it's lies I illuminate the skyline with truth that multiplies High... My pinnacle Heroic by nature but I brand myself a criminal No escape from the same reality that's killing you I lived with...

the truth I didn’t want to believe
I gave all I had even when I thought I had nothing to give. I stayed, I fought, I built bridges over an ocean of lies just to find myself drowning. I didn’t want it to end. I didn’t want it to be true. But no matter how much you try, you can’t make someone stay. You can’t make someone care. And now, all that’s left is the truth I...

a flame no wind could touch
I searched for light in the spaces you left behind— in empty chairs at dinner, in the silence that lingered after your name. I thought if I tried hard enough, if I gave enough, I could bring it back— the warmth, the glow, the feeling of being whole. But the more I gave, the smaller I became, until I couldn’t tell if I was searching for you, or...

I thought I’d be the one
I thought I’d be the one someone would fight to keep. That my absence would make you pause, that my silence would make you care. I wasn’t asking for the world— just a sign that I mattered. But here I stand, wondering if I’ll always be the one waiting to be seen. Maybe I’m learning now: No one’s coming back. The fight I was waiting for starts...

Premium Member Stolen Truths
Faded maps, Empty promises, A king's cruel decree. Shadows lengthen, On shattered temples, dust Chanting, a false saviour. Twisted truths, A poisoned well, Power's hungry grip. Ancient stones whisper, Secrets buried, buried deep, We must find our light. A single spark, Igniting the heart, Shattering the chains....

Sorrows and Joy
I feel so caged, Having to see the same walls, Over and over again. I think I’m losing my mind. I wish to see the whole world, But the dream Fades away in the blink of an eye. I am so lonely, I think I’m losing my mind. I feel life fades away, Until there is nothing to feel again. My smile turns to tears, Joy turns...

The Call
Tiptoes on timid, balancing on fear you peeked at perfection. Chiseling abundance into limited hopes you can only pray for more. Chances did not weep only regrets paved a paranoia. To shun years of disillusionment - tribulations await rewards. Boxed fears deliver ambiguous results, pain assured. Yet the call echoes....

Gentle's Deity
Once at my lowest, yet I stride, With the poise of a boss, I take my pride. Light beckons softly at the tunnel's end, In lands of the blind, the one-eyed man ascends. I need no admiration; the draw’s reversed, She sent her photo—a sweet smile rehearsed. Alone in...

In Shadows of Dawn
My greatest fear is not the fall, But failing myself, the deepest dread. A Queen I sought through toil and call, Now stands before me, love’s thread. She rekindles spring's warm embrace, Her beauty in each quiet glance, Her laughter, a spark in my space, Revives my hope with a gentle dance. Her touch, like dawn on weary skin, Melts...

True Golden Is the light given to write The words that lovingly depart Gleaned from the collection of moments Watching the dance of life on a limitless silent stage While the multitude of days fold in-between A ream of poems on blank paper sheets Rehearsing years of storied elegies That churn and spill upon a new Light of understanding Recounting hope Enlightenment Wisdom Love...
