Never Again
Folder:
Depressed. Never Again,
shall I allow them to make me feel
as though I am less than I am.
Simply because I do not wish to give up
what I have worked so hard to earn.
Never again
will I allow them to make me feel
like complete and utter crap,
to make my insides roil and buck in anger.
How dare they make me feel this way?
Never again
shall I allow them to wrench tears
from my eyes until they cascade down my face
like an unbidden waterfall with no other purpose
But to show the world that I am vulnerable...
Never Again,
shall I let them make me feel.....
Weak
Well are as vulnerable as we
Well are as vulnerable as we allow ourselves to be. This is a nice poem, but gives the readr an idea that the writer is trying to talk themselves into something because of the repetition. Our strength comes when we realize no one makes us feel anything. We feel things because we allow ourselves to feel them---which doesn't make it our 'fault' at all, just means no one ever told you that you have the power of choice within you once you see a thought pattern (ie: insight). When we say to ourselves, "I won't let 'them' make me feel", we give our personal power to 'them' (?) over and over. A better affirmation would be "I forgive myself for accepting another's character defect as my own"---because what others say, think, or act on, is not a reflection of YOU---it is a reflection of who THEY are. You are beautiful <3

...and he asked her, "do you write poetry? Because I feel as if I am the ink that flows from your quill."
"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "
nicely written
humans....always bringing other humans down. making them feel weak. and then when someone has a lot of power, there is always another individual or group plotting against them and waiting for their downfall. we all have and will feel weak in our lives.
In short, Humans Suck
