Poems About Self-Discovery, Growth & Inner Healing
-
Threshold
The door is in front of you, plain wood, a simple catch… The way inward begins with a word— spoken, or perhaps, kept silent.
-
Rooted Riddle
A shadow, my only consistent friend, becomes shorter with the rising sun… In bark and flower, quiet battles are fought— a contradiction to living, a paradox to being.
-
The Unheard Resonance
A solitary figure walks the path of truth, speaking in a language few remember. The Unheard Resonance echoes with timeless insight, misunderstood yet enduring.
-
Brimming Cup, Open Heart
“Love is not a desperate reaching, but a quiet meeting of two whole selves. In solitude, the heart learns to sing its own song—and from that fullness, connection blooms.”
-
The Unencumbered Heart
“A refined love, pure as mountain air, unfolds quietly within the soul’s hearth. Through kindness and surrender, we are lifted beyond the small self, nudged into lands of unseen empathy. The unencumbered heart teaches us: we are reformed not by what we take, but by what we give.”
-
Stubborn Grace
“A stubborn beast, feet planted in the mud of my mistakes. But forgiveness, like rain and river, softens the path forward.”
-
Freedom or Footprint
To choose is to change—not only ourselves but the world around us. Freedom or Footprint is a gentle yet profound meditation on how our decisions shape not just direction, but the depth of our roots and the height of our potential.
-
Beyond Judgement
Before you know someone, you must first know and forgive yourself. Then you shall be blessed to know another. And when you do, you forgive.
-
The Invitation
The Invitation is a raw, reflective journey through wounds, self-protection, and the quiet courage to forgive. It moves from shadow to light, ending in a gentle surrender to both life and death. This poem is a call to rise, to remember, and to love the self fully—flaws, gifts, and all.
