A Poem on Self-Worth, Growth, Resilience, Truth and Authenticity

 

 "Nourishing the Soul Through Ligatures of Thorns and Bloom"

 A Poem on Self-Worth, Growth, Resilience, Truth and Authenticity

 

Our lives, a flower that withers fast,

Without care, it fades, and beauty's past.

Nourish the soul, with hopes and dreams so bright,

Abandon them, and life loses its light.

 

Hold fast to life's small joys, the quiet gleams, 

Contentment blooms where truth dismantles dreams. 

No false facades, no mirrors cloaked in lies, 

Unveil your heart where honest self-work lies. 

 

Through hunger’s bite and poverty's sharp sting, 

Through abundance bright, where blessings freely sing, 

I’ve walked with failure, felt the doldrums’ weight, 

Yet tasted success, where courage conquered fate. 

 

In darkness deep, through storms that rage and roar, 

I’ve found the light, where peaceful waters restore. 

My God, my Buckler, steadfast through the fray, 

You guide my steps where memories light the way. 

 

 

Pursuing the unattainable brings heavy unrest,

Shallow understanding makes acceptance a test.

Though rejection seems easier to digest,

Know your worth isn't based on others' behest.

 

Be yourself, unapologetic, and free,

For your value shines, regardless of what others see.

Mistakes we make, but fix them we must,

Even when scared or embarrassed, we trust.

 

Leave it outside the door, that treacherous foe,

Embrace the lessons, let your spirit glow.

In life's true path, find joy and sweet release,

Let your flower bloom with eternal peace.
