1. The Writer
She never liked to read,
Because she was always in her own head.
So she wrote of all the things she knew,
And made her own stories instead.
Genuine feelings of self worth, confidence, and happiness can be elusive. Sometimes you need a little inspiration to believe in yourself and find a source of motivation. Often other people's words or experiences can give you just that inspiration. They can also help you to live up to challenges, become the person you want to be, try new things, learn from your mistakes, and find happiness. Life may not be perfect, but it can still be beautiful. You just have to learn how to find inspiration in life, in spite of its many imperfections.

We are soft and feminine,
Pretty and stylish,
We are strong in heart,
We keep going on and on,

The woman I wish to be
She's flawless in her step
And graceful in her actions
She's unafraid of her abilities
People want me to be different,
not the way I want to be,
People want me to be different,
Let it be.
Let the voices be silent.
Let the silence soothe.
Let it be.
Come for me, sweet tomorrow.
Help me touch the sky.
Like a well-learned bird opens its wings,
I, too, want to fly high.
Committing mistakes and then learning from them can be a great lesson of life. It can truly evolve a person into a nice gentleman. I remember, after passing out of the university, I joined an...
You're almost there.
Just a few more steps.
You can beat this game,
a lot like chess.
I used to be that girl,
The one who hid in the shadows,
The one who hid her face from others,
The one who drowned in her tears.
I had a similar childhood in which many rejected my company. As I grew up, I identified my skills and I could draw the attention of others. My teachers were helpful in this regard. I feel...
Life is like a marathon
That we cannot reject; we must run
It's a continuous route that we travel on
At some points the path is tough, sometimes it's fun
In each of us,
There's a sun
That shines
And lights the gloomy day away.
This poem is so beautiful! So full of truth and written from the heart! I've been reading a lot of inspirational poems lately, for I have been going through depression. So reading this poem...
She longs to be pretty,
Because all she sees are her flaws.
She doesn't see that those "flaws"
Are really her perfection.
This, to me, describes something similar that my friends said/wrote about me. It shocked me at the time how much they cared about me. I felt unlovable after me and my mom started fighting...
When you look in the mirror do you see what I can see?
Your body and your spirit so unbreakable and free
When I look at every one of you, I hope you know I care.
I hope you know you're beautiful and not a soul on Earth compares.
Erica, I love how you write your beautiful poems. That really makes me feel so wonderful that I can't even express, but I'm feeling pretty sad that you haven't share more poems within the...
Do we stay silent
Or raise our voices?
Do we give in
Or make our choices?
Hi Erica! I read all your poems... they're beautiful
I know you posted this years ago but I really miss your poems, I don't know why you're not posting anymore but I hope you're...
As long as I can remember, I've been wrong.
Everyone always saying I have to be strong.
Everything inside myself tells me to give in,
The poem conveys a valuable message to those who struggle to face hardships in life. It is not the fate but one's courage that handles life.
Sometimes at night I get up from my bed.
I go outside and I lay down my head.
On these cool fall nights, I lay in peace
Hello everybody! I am the author of this poem, and I just noticed that we reached 50 shares! Wow! I would like to thank everybody out there who shared my poem. It means a lot to me!...
Don't stop and scream at the pebble that made you fall.
If you can't get up, at least crawl.
You gotta move forward
And never be cornered
Dear Sara,
I'm a teen, and I can relate your poem! I get that feeling sometimes. Your poem is very encouraging and beautiful. I think next time I feel that way I will look at your poem. Best...
I'm not that girl who's loved by all.
Don't wear dresses or go to balls.
I'm not the kind who likes to sing.
Don't dream of wearing a diamond ring.
I am like this. I do not want a prince charming in life. I am strong enough to take care of myself, and I will be independent as well. Super proud to be a girl!
In this world, I want to be many things.
People tell me I can't be everything,
But I can't listen to what they say.
I can't let their envy control what I think.
You can be anything if you are rid of ego and arrogance. You can be anything if you respect elders and parents. You can be anything with perseverance.
Be brave.
You already are.
Look at what you've made it through.
The wounds of your past have healed.
It is a poem which infuses courage to those who have direct experience of war, making them think positively about life, forgetting the bitter past. We also faced a similar situation as a...
This is for all those people
Who hide in the dark,
For those who feel hopeless,
For those with a broken heart.
Give of yourself. This is such a caring poem. You are so right; in God's eyes, everyone is special and important. Never should anyone give up on their dreams and goals. Remember, you are here...
