Venessa Lisa Asvat Poem
I look in the mirror and what do I see
Cellulite and stretch marks
Body perfect, that is me
I turn to the left and then to the right
My butt is way too big
But my tummy gave me a fright
I laughed out loud and nearly choked
I looked like a naked camel
Who needed to be stroked
I see my beauty and yes my flaws
If there has to be gravity
There has to be certain laws
Laugh at yourself
Hug yourself tight
Love every inch of you
Laugh aloud-despite...

Venessa Lisa Asvat Poem
The wind blows its favourite song
Windows rattle like musical drums
I feel the hail, the ice so cold
Ripping at my heart with pain so familiar
It is the second time around he has pierced my heart
Twisted his knife savagely into my love
Feeling of death would be a blessing
Anything to make the pain disappear
He betrayed my trust and laughed at my foolishness
Did I not give my all?
Did I not love my best?
Did I not deserve to smile with sunshine?
I see a rainbow pushing through my pain
I smell the flowers, the grass, and new hope
I smile at wasted love with heartache's death
I tough the sun and know
That I am Whole

Venessa Lisa Asvat Poem
My soul is dark
Blackened by my misery-self pity
I feel depressed
What does that mean?
At 30 years of age, I have learnt so much
Yet,accomplished nothing
My life is stationery, maybe regressing
But no forward movement
Progress?
Achievement?
Goals?
Words I so carelessly abuse
But never apply
I, my own worst instrument of destruction
I am fearful of what I can become
Turmoiled by what I know but so often lack
I, so ambitious, contribute so little
To my life, my dreams, my existence
I, who give so much and expect even more
From those who give even less
I am surrounded by negative souls
Bodies that hold me back from reality
Boredom rules and empty promises govern
I am What? Who?
Where am I going?
What is my plan?
I am alone, so alone
Lost....
Again, I feel depressed.

Venessa Lisa Asvat Poem
I woke up this morning
And wondered when life would be good to me
I see nothing but problems
I hear nothing but people wanting
Wanting all of me
I have nothing left to offer
Nothing left to give
If I close my eyes just for a moment
Will all be as it should be when I open my eyes again?
Thought so
Stupid fool

Venessa Lisa Asvat Poem
It must have been but yesterday
When I had dreamt my dreams
Now it feels like years have passed
Like millions so it seems
They say that nothing good can last
That life is but a joke
And when I think and ponder on
I know its truth they spoke
So days will pass and days will come
Another dream has died
Yet I wish it all back again
But in hope I feel no ties
I dream of riches and success
And talent to call my own
I wish for love and happiness
Again, I am all alone
So maybe I have thrown so much away
The battle I have lost it seems
But in the deepest part of me
I see sunlight in my dreams.
