Many of us tend to forget just how amazing, beautiful and powerful we are.  Whether through conditioning, stress and overwhelm, or general expectations from others, we somewhere along the line lose touch with ourselves, feel trapped, and the true reality is that we are free.  We have the freedom of choice and that means our lives can change at any moment. We CAN do the thing we have always secretly dreamt of doing, we CAN leave the relationship that is holding us back, we CAN visit to far off lands, we CAN choose; WE CAN ALWAYS CHOOSE.

10 POEMS TO REMIND YOU WHO THE F**K YOU ARE!

Phenomenal Woman
​
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size  
 
But when I start to tell them,
They think I’m telling lies.

I say,

It’s in the reach of my arms,
The span of my hips,   
The stride of my step,   
The curl of my lips.   
​
I’m a woman
Phenomenally.

Maya Angelou

Milk & Honey

I do not want to have you
To fill the empty parts of me.

I want to be full on my own.

I want to be so complete
I could light a whole city

And then

I want to have you

Cause the two of us combined
Could set it on fire.

Rupi Kaur

Remember Woman

Remember, Woman, you were born
life giver, miracle creator, magic maker.
You were born with the heart of a thousand mothers,
open and fearless and sweet.

You were born with the fire of Queens & conquerors,
warrioress blood you bleed.

You were born with the wisdom of sages & shamans,
no wound can you not heal.

You were born the teller of your own tale,
before none should you kneel.

You were born with an immeasurable soul
reaching out past infinity.

You were born to desire with passion, abandon,
and to name your own destiny.

Remember, Woman, remember
you are more than you can see.

Remember, Woman, remember
you are loved endlessly.

Remember, Woman, your power and grace,
the depth of your deep sea heart.
​
Never forget you are Woman, divine,
as you have been from the start.

My Personal Quest

For most of my life, I've been on a quest
To discover just who I might be,
Earnestly searching, day after day,
So desperate to recognize me.

I've felt moments of utter fulfillment
And moments I couldn't go on,
But I knew for the sake of my heart and my soul,
To succeed, I would have to be strong.

But the people around me seemed so lost themselves
That I feared I might be on my own.
But then there'd be someone who would reach out and help
And remind me I wasn't alone.

I've wanted so much to be happy,
To know what it was to feel peace,
And I thought if I finally felt sure of myself,
Then the pain and the struggles would cease.

But I've learned that this journey is endless;
The discoveries are fresh every day,
And no matter how much I might know of myself,
They'll be times I will still lose my way.

And as I've grown older, I truly believe
I may never know all I can be.
But the answers are not waiting out in the world
But have always laid right inside me.

We're all on this quest to discover ourselves,
Together but through our own ways,
Overcoming whatever might get in our paths,
So we can feel better someday.

But always remember not to stray far
From what matters and what's really true.
In this life you don't have to be perfect.
In the end, you just have to be you.

Pain Ends

Breathe in the fresh air,
Put your mind at ease.
Let down your hair,
Let it flow in the breeze.

Let your eyes wander
To all the beauty to be seen.
If those toxic thoughts you still do ponder,
Then let out a scream.

Scream until the pain is gone,
Until you no longer feel afraid.
Open your eyes to a new dawn,
Let the darkness fade.

No longer compare yourself
Or your flaws to others' perfections.
Take the negativity off the shelf.
Focus on your direction.

Pick the sadness up off the floor,
Sweep it into the wind.
Close the door on self-hatred.
Never let it back in.

For the lies it would often tell you,
You will no longer agree.
Happiness and love are what you should hold onto.
They are whom you should give the key.

Pay no attention to the toxic thoughts,
Listen to those who adore everything you are.
Overthinking was what you once were taught,
But now those thoughts you put in a jar.

Focus on your goals,
Never lose your fight.
It's time to open new scrolls.
Everything will be all right.

You Will Never See Me Fall

You may see me struggle,
but you won't see me fall.

Regardless if I'm weak or not,
I'm going to stand tall.

Everyone says life is easy,
but truly living it is not.

Times get hard,
people struggle
and constantly get put on the spot.

I'm going to wear the biggest smile,
even though I want to cry.
I'm going to fight to live,
even though I'm destined to die.

And even though it's hard
and I may struggle through it all,

you may see me struggle...
but you will NEVER see me fall.

Resilience

Yes, she’s been fractured,
Broken down
And messed around
Taken to the heights
And dropped down

But

She’s picked herself up,
put the pieces together again
brushed away your dirt
and emerged stronger.

She may have lost a move,
But not the game

And now resilience
Is her middle name.
​
Dipendra Tamang

She wore 
Confidence like a second skin 

Self-respect like bright red lips
 
Courage like a satin slip dress 
And kindness? 

She wore kindness like sweet, 
sweet perfume.

Not

You are not your age, nor the size of clothes you wear,
You are not a weight, or the color of your hair.

You are not your name, or the dimples in your cheeks.
You are all the books you read, and all the words you speak.

You are your croaky morning voice, and the smiles you try to hide.
You’re the sweetness in your laughter, and every tear you’ve cried.

You’re the songs you sing so loudly when you know you’re all alone.
You’re the places that you’ve been to, and the one that you call home.

You’re the things that you believe in, and the people whom you love.
You’re the photos in your bedroom, and the future you dream of.

You’re made of so much beauty, but it seems that you forgot
When you decided that you were defined by all the things you’re not.

Erin Hanson

Beautiful Girl

Beautiful girl, You are made from a cosmic quake.
And look at you…
As unique as each snowflake.

You were meant to be here just exactly as you are.
Now, My darling, don't be afraid to raise your bar.

So, when you find yourself feeling lost and tired.
Beautiful girl, know that just by being you,
you have inspired.

My Beautiful Girl,
for Greatness YOU are wired!

I personally wrote the last poem in the list above.  Sometimes you teach or share what you need to learn most.  When I wrote this, I was struggling and definitely needed a reminder of just who the F**k I am and, who we all are. Because I know for sure, we are all connected and all made unique for a reason.  There is no one else like you, remember that! 
​

My hope is that you take these poems and print or copy the one(s) that resonate with you and  put it somewhere where you can see it and read it often so that you know you're not alone, and that you are a BEAUTIFUL GIRL in all the ways that matter.

Please share this with a loved one that might need a reminder of just how powerful, amazing and beautiful they are, and as always please start a conversation with me in the comments, let me know what you thought of the poems.  Which is your favorite?  Share with me other uplifting poems that you love!!!

I would love to connect, come join me on the socials where I share what I'm learning & get a daily dose of positivity!
