A poem titled "Fight" that reads: A battle is raging on inside of me, My mind and body don't seem to agree. One whispers, saying I'm not worthy or right, The other yearns to feel some love and light. Each moment that goes by, I await their fight, As one speaks up and dims the other's light. My mind and body don't want to be this way, But they're both stuck, not sure what to say. When will I find my find inner peace? When will the fight in my body cease? Perhaps one day, they will be friends, And this battle between them will end. Until then, I will take refuge in my soul, Waiting for my body to become whole. I will be patient as they become allies, So they can go through life by my side.

A poem in the shape of a boot titled "Walking" that reads: Taking the road less traveled is difficult But it seems to be part of being an adult Making wrong turns every now and then But always being willing to try once again As I walk, I feel the ground under my feet For getting this far was never an easy feat I'm mindful of the other beings I can meet For they can make life a little more sweet We are all on our own path, our own way Some of the beings that I meet do not always stay Everyone must venture out on their own to seize the day Due to the inherent curiosity that is coded within our DNA We each have questions that keep us wondering in our minds And there are solutions out there for each one of us to go find It all starts with being brave enough to go where others haven't And by finding our true selves, held within the present moment

A poem titled "Home" that reads": I Am Home In my body I have found safety Within my boundaries Held together by the cells That have served me so well They provide me with warmth And the energy to thrive in life All they ask that I give in return Is a taste of unconditional love The kind of love sent from above That reminds us all what we're made of Which is so much more than meets the eye Something so vast, that it cannot be described

A poem in the shape of a spinning top that reads: I seek peace It's not a breeze I just want to be And show up as me I just want to breathe And create with my hands Watching my worries leave As I follow my own commands All I want is to finally find my inner home Where I can finally experience true inner peace I have been searching for it everywhere that I roam For there is a hole in my heart that is missing this piece I know that somewhere beyond this physical universe There exist a place that can be my personal hideaway A place beyond that cannot be captured in a verse Where I am the only one that can enter or stay A place hidden in the depths of my mind Where I no longer need to be afraid Nothing in my sanctuary is timed I never feel rushed or delayed I go as far as I am allowed From thoughts, I abstain Floating inside a cloud Until I think again

A poem titled "Searching" that reads: I have been looking for a clue That will allow me to find what is true Through this journey, I've searched both high and low After trying just about everything, I don't know where to go Everything I do feels off, like I am living in some sort of hazy dream The more I try to understand it all, the less I know what any of it means I am unsure of who I am meant to be; I just want to feel alive and free It is like I am meant to find a part of me, and just allow it to be It's hard to think clearly, as my mind fills with dread But I must keep on, and face what's ahead Though the answer seems far away I'll keep on searching, day by day For in the end, I know I'll see The path that's meant for me In the end, truth will shine And my life will finally align My heart knows what's true And it will lead me to my clue

A poem in the shape of a bandage titled "healing" that reads: Everyone says that healing requires waiting But I want to take control of my life and start creating I don’t want to just wait to mend; I want to take action and ascend So that I can leave behind the world of the mundane and reach for the sky I will do what feels right so that I can give myself room to grow and to heal I will find my own way to shine my light so that my heart isn’t afraid to feel I will take control of my life and heal myself before it’s too late I’ll find my own way and create my own fate

A poem titled "Beacon" that reads: I've been struggling in the dark, Feeling like there's something I need to do, Like there should be more to life than just this, Like I am living in a world made of shattered dreams. Perhaps I have just forgotten that time is the key, To unlocking change, and setting myself free, Life will not rearrange overnight, I need to wait for it to be right. As long as I hold onto my light, I will make it through the night, I will keep letting my light shine, For it will make my life feel divine. I'll focus on being patient and kind, And give myself the time to unwind, They'll become stronger than before, Leading me into the light once more.

A poem titled "Up" in the shape of an arrow that reads" I See So many Possibilities Waiting for me To be courageous Enough to break free And pursue what I seek By going into the unknown I can see what life has to offer My fate has not yet been shown It all starts with what I do right now H E R E

A poem titled "Connect" that reads: Let us all take this moment to slow down And see the world that is always around Let us all put phones and screens aside And acknowledge how it feels to be alive We could all have conversations beyond The surface level of what is currently on We can talk about every fear and dream And share moments that make us beam For in the end, it's the human connection That will bring us joy and true satisfaction We can all break free from this digital trap And reclaim the art of a face-to-face bond We can learn to listen with an open mind Leaving our biases and judgments behind Let us cherish the moments that we share And show each other how much we care We spend all day talking, yet say so little But it is never too late to break the cycle We can rediscover true communication And create a world with a better relation

A poem titled "Unfold" that reads: Life is a storybook Which we unfold We often overlook The power we hold We need the bravery To change our narrative We write our own story When we are imaginative Many have stopped dreaming Beyond what their eyes can see Not questioning the meaning Of what we call reality Some may realize That they wield the pen Reaching through the skies By filling their lives with Zen Creating a life that is stress free Starts with detaching from need And doing your best to spread glee Letting your love sprout like a seed Do things that make you feel content Face the fears that inhibit your love Focus here and now in the present Seeing the big picture from above

Unfold
