Nina G Poem
As the seconds of your life turn from months to years
And the restless whispers of your unfulfilled dreams awake you
There remains a distant glimpse of your former true self
The self that was inspired by dew drops in the early morning
The longing looks of circumventing lust transforming to love
The passionate embraces thrusting to complete satisfaction
and the forgotten imagination that awaits its resurrection
A daily decision whether to remain condemned to this reality
or create the clear escape to the soul's freedom
Yet the decision is convoluted by fears and inhibitions
Thoughts of failure and rejection perpetuated by the masses
And so I will fall asleep tonight with a new thought troubling me
But what I do tomorrow will either be my rebirth or a continued cycle

Nina G Poem
Did I notice the arch
The bend in me
That caused the shift
When did it begin
When did I start manifesting it
Do I even know why
Why I was so desperate for a change
Yes I know why
Of course I do
Because what I said I would never be
I had fully become
A mediocre shell
Giving 50% of everything in my life
Surprised by my own unhappiness
Aware that self-actualization is my goal
But too lost to fight for it
Too confused to forge the path
Too much into my own pity party
That I missed the opportunity
Missed opportunities
And would continue missing them
Until I took a stand
And stood up for my life
For my tomorrow
So the arch happened
And now I know it can be done
Which I’ll need reminding of
Realistically more than once
But the shift has at least begun

Nina G Poem
Maybe it was a mistake
Not maybe
There is no maybe
It was a mistake
A wrong turn
A forced turn
But my turn
A turn I created
That I didn’t accept
That I took no responsibility for
That I’ve been running from
I’m running from my shadow
And it will always find me
It will always be a part of me
So I have to face it
Because it will destroy a beautiful day
It will destroy a beautiful moment
A beautiful life
If I don’t look in the mirror
Accept the error
Accept the ramifications of the lies
So that dirt can be brushed off
Off of my shoulders
Because that dirt used to be boulders
Time eroded them
But I’m still dirty
I can feel the dirt
And it is on me to brush it off
So I can be clean
Calm
Happy to see my shadow
Each and every day

Nina G Poem
I’ve been given a gift
The ultimate gift
Correction
One of the ultimate gifts
A way to undo
A way to redo
A way to rewrite
A way to reject spite
A way to free myself
From suffocation
Mediocrity
Unfulfillment
Disillusionment
Fear
And it was simple
Far simpler than imagined
I found who was to blame
Who was the tormentor
But it was the same reflection
As the protector
It was always me
Me as my worst enemy
Me as my best friend
So the choice was made
The choice to undo the damage
To love
First and foremost
Myself

Nina G Poem
You’ll act out the scene
It will be quite lovely
Enthusiastically perverse
Shocking all those around you
And unexpectedly docile
You’ll be ready to listen
Do as you’re told
Be the carrier
Obedient
Blank
And the terror will begin
Taking over all their senses
Because the change will seem sudden
Out of the blue
Untriggered
Unplanned
Authentic
You’ll let yourself be their puppet
As they’ve requested
Against your nature
A shell
Then they’ll know what they had
What they lost
As their regrets flood in
You’ll end the scene

Nina G Poem
You forget
Or you never even knew
You forgot the importance
Missed the moments
You can’t reclaim them
You can’t change the past
You just have the now
The now that creates the future
The now that can enlighten
It can offer that second chance
A needed redemption
A wanted newness
It’s so precious
So delicate
It’s not infinite
It’s very limited
So live it now
Because regret has a tomorrow
