I find trouble in loving myself

Submitted by anonymus on Mon, 2022-09-05 08:47

I am a danger to my own reflection
blinded by self hatred
and a lack of affection
sincerest is my objection
to a portrait in which I am beautiful

couldn't be plainer than that! What's up? I hope that's not how you really feel. I see a person that needs a friend. Someone that will tell you that you are a valuable being, someone who is worth something. How about this for a start? This is a good piece of poetry! Short and to the point, but a worthy piece of work. ~ Geezer.

Do not let this poem influence your opinions of me, despite my confidence, I am soulful and full of words that need to be expelled from my thoughts. I have found a home for them here. Thank you for your compliment regarding my writing, I enjoy reading yours just as well!

I recongise fimiliarity within your words, the turmoil inside is true and raw. Thank you for your kind comment, and let it be the same, you to me.

Hello, there,
I echo previous sentiments. Certainly such stunning poetry was created from someone other than anonymous. Your poem is brief, but overflowing with meaning. I also look forward to more of your work!
Thank you,
Lavender
