24 Short Poems To Help You Step Into Your Power And Stay There
1. let me see you at your worst
I’ll do my best to remind you
why you’re beautiful first
because I know feeling deeply
can be quite the curse
2. make it happen
you can’t plan destiny
but you can manifest a dream
if you truly believe in it
hold on tightly to your vision
not what’s holding you back
from reaching it
release that
3. power
the courage to be yourself
in a world constantly trying to shape you
is my personal definition of power
4. luminous
the brightest star can’t be dimmed
by another’s intimidation
of the way it shines
5. silence
never been afraid to speak up
I’ve always been told
to put my foot in my mouth
so when I am quiet
ask yourself, instead of me,
what this is about
6. resilient
keep living
reinvent yourself
over and over again
7. anomaly
on your journey to success
don’t forget the part of yourself
you’d rather not keep
the part of you
that makes you unique
if it reminds you
of being on your knees
remember you are not weak
you’re poetry
and the world needs
your vulnerability
8. fresh air
call it petty, I’ll call it pain
what you’ve taken from me
is nothing to gain
traveling and meeting people
are ways to fend off death
it’d been awhile since I could see
my own breath
9. infinite
sometimes you forget
why you’re fighting
to survive
other nights
you look at the sky
thankful to be alive
10. dare to be different
be who you are
dive into your creativity
talk about it
what’s crazy to one
may be genius to another
believe in your vision
passion breeds inspiration
and collaboration
11. only human
I don’t need attention
why do I crave validation?
is it unfair of me
to want acknowledgment?
today, the world was heavy
and my hands could hold it
but tonight, I am only human
12. gold
wrap yourself in the light
hold on to it, stay there, it’s yours
13. teach me master
I’m always going to be the student eager to learn
questioning why you’re so set on
assuming the role of teacher
when I find us to be
equal mirrors
14. artists
so much content, but are you content?
choose to expand instead of contract
turn your pain into power, progress
don’t question yourself, you’re art
and art was never made to make sense
15. release
I felt a rage
inside of me yesterday
until I picked up a pen
suddenly, I’m breathing again
do the world a favor
stop avoiding your art
no matter how bad it hurts
face it, let it out
16. masked
show emotion, you’re fire for a reason
no one’s going to understand you
unless you ask them to
explain what’s true
be the real you
17. adored
you are sweet, kind
you deserve to be by another’s side
with the same endearing, curious eyes
as yours
18. gratitude
I went around the world and back
and all I could think about
is how lucky I am
you have mine
19. encouragement
persuasion is instilling fear in another
to do something for your own benefit
influence is reminding someone
what they’re made of
encouraging them
to be their best self
this year, I encourage you
to be strategic about it
and adopt the latter tactic
20. perspective
here to make you see
the other side
but only you
can change your mind
21. melt
you are cold
but flying over
the northern hemisphere
made me realize
how beautiful ice is
and I’m fire for a reason
22. forward movement
lovers in the night
you forget how to touch at sunrise
like you, I can’t create poetry
until it’s dark outside
but today, the sun is shining,
and I’m writing this because
only fools are stagnant
23. iceberg
I feel deeply, I feel everything
but my appearance cleverly masks
the complexity, the depth
beneath the surface
there’s so much more to me
than what you see
but if you’re willing to dive
I’ll show you just how deep it gets
24. drive
the road ahead
a temporary cure
starry-eyed, restless
car pedal to the floor
unsure of what’s in store
a series of stop lights forces you
to pump the breaks
green means, yes, go
red means, stop, no
yellow means, slow down,
or hurry up, you’ll make it
well, which one is it?
go fast, be cautious
the in-between
makes you exhausted
wheels in motion
to an unknown destination
you’ll figure out
where you are going
born to go fast
but slow down
it’s meant to last
