I Am Who I Am | Sandra Nguyen

I am the scars that you see,
of broken promises and broken heart.
I am the tears that flow,
from wells of hurt and pain.
I am the treasure,
of falling stars and lost dreams.
I am who I am,
because you loved me.

I am the wings of eagles,
soaring in the sky.
I am the butterfly,
the change and transformation.
I am the sun, the stars and moon,
shining and twinkling with all my might.
I am who I am,
because I loved you.

On Repeat | Justateddyberry - Contemporary Poetry Website Featuring Notable Poems

On Repeat | Justateddyberry

Hot tears flowing down the stream
Only opening my eyes to see
I’m just lying on my bed
And no one’s hurting me anymore
It was all just a dream
But it was real
All the humans in there
Everything happening was just a compilation of hurt
On repeat
Set in a different setting
The only difference was this time
I actually cried

True Colors | Krista S. Clark - Contemporary Poetry Website Featuring Notable Poems

True Colors | Krista S. Clark

Challenge a seemingly never-ending, unfathomable journey. Gaze
extremely vividly,
beyond rims of a suspicious smile.
Sashay ever so cautiously, questioning every curve.
Never lift concentration albeit a mere blink of a split second.
Peer amidst bright boisterous poppies and beaming rays of sunshine.
Ignore luscious scents of fragrant, lavender lilacs.
Sprint towards glistening, gleaming traces of light.
Thrust abruptly with superhuman force against nature.
Dive into the desolate solitude of darkness.
Burst the unrepairable, never before seen, crimson seal.
Scale gigantic walls constructed of vicious, poisonous reptiles,
seeking their next victims.
Rise above rapid flames like a magnificent phoenix experiencing its first flight.
Extinguish unbearably fierce, billowing heat.
Navigate hesitantly on narrow, spiky, misleading paths.
Trample through deep, dark, bone chilling dungeons.
Breathe profusely into the swollen lips of a limp, lifeless body.
Reveal the true colors of a wretched, almost unreachable, dying,
abandoned being.

Pieces | Renee' Drummond-Brown - Contemporary Poetry Website Featuring Notable Poems

Pieces | Renee' Drummond-Brown

Bit by bit
they broke me.
Shards can’t be fixed.
Shattered pieces
fragments within
parts of illusions
faced down
smiles far less than
artificial frowns.
They broke me
mid-flight.
Smithereens
fell down
restoration
can’t be found.
They broke me
can’t be fixed
itty bitty
pieces.
