Somewhere between becoming who we were supposed to be and surviving who we had to become, most of us misplaced a piece of ourselves. Maybe poetry is how I look for what I lost. What about you? Here’s some poems. 💙💙💙 #poetry #blueskypoets #writingcommunity #BlueSkyPoetry #SkyPoet

A poem about how people sometimes abandon pieces of themselves to become easier for others to accept, and the courage required to reclaim those lost selves.

Where I Left Myself

I think I left

a version of myself

in every room

where I learned

to become easier to love.

One stopped laughing.

One lowered his voice.

One apologized

for taking up space.

I have spent years

calling them maturity.

Tonight,

I am going back

for everyone.

A poem about becoming so quiet, obedient, and careful as a child that distress goes unnoticed and disappearance is mistaken for good behavior.

The Good Child

I became so good

at causing no trouble

that no one noticed

when I disappeared.

I ate what was given.

Said I was fine.

Carried my sadness

like a glass filled

to the rim.

Everyone praised

how carefully

I walked.

No one asked

why I was trembling.

A poem about looking at an old photograph and grieving the uninhibited joy that existed before shame and other people’s expectations took hold.

Old Photograph

There is a photograph

of me before I knew

my face could disappoint people.

I am laughing

with my whole body,

mouth open,

eyes nearly gone.

Sometimes I study it

like evidence

from a missing-person case.

Not because I want

to be young again.

Because I want to know

where that laughter went.

A poem about realizing that healing may not mean returning to a former self, but creating someone new from everything that survived and came home.

Return Address

I keep waiting

to feel like myself again,

as though the person I was

has been delayed

in the mail.

But maybe healing

is not a return.

Maybe there is no address

where the old me

still lives.

Maybe I am building

someone new

from everything

that made it home.

I pace for miles on weary feet— willing my buried soul to speak, and I listen very closely. ⸻ I sit still and lose myself in world, while soul sneaks up, wrapping me in whisper: “Are you ready to go peacefully?” ⸻ Glowing, I agree. #Poetry #SkyPoet #BlueskyPoetry #MythicPoetry

Your heart is heavy at times, as you feel stuck in anguishes of the past. Look yonder, and notice how the horizon holds fair promises... #sunset #haiku #sea #photography #sun #nature #amchit #beautiful #waves #foam #poetry #hope #hopeful #writer #skypoet #sky #birds #twilight #love

#poem #AugustAnarchy #love #relationship #poetry #skypoet #bluejaypoems #poet

Green swirls fill my eyes
Cerulean crashes into you
We swallow each other's cries
In the dark

I venture into stormy weather—
Hope my stitches
Will keep us together

Bound in place
My seams begin
To split
As limbs lace

I shouldn't waste my breath
Inside your mouth
Every kiss
A little death

By morning
We're bruises:
Green fading into blue

I bend over backward to keep the truth straight, though it fights and it curls along all its edges. And I'm trying so hard to take in the bigger picture, to let it re-arrange everything I thought I knew again, again, again— the longer I can stand to look. #Poetry #SkyPoet #BlueskyPoetry

if only to see people clearly without painting over their red flags - do they give with #innocence, or are they #wolfs in disguise that I made them? not even fresh daisies soften my sadness #vss365 #whistpr #prompt #poem #poetry #poet #skypoet #writing #bloomscrolling #daisy #photography

A text arriving at the right moment. A dog choosing your lap. Someone remembering how you take your coffee. Life keeps hiding miracles inside ordinary packaging. Here’s some poems. 💙💙💙 #poetry #blueskypoets #writingcommunity #BlueSkyPoetry #SkyPoet
