atrocities
break the stillness,
crystallizing
disenchantment.
everyone
falls short of
glory,
hopes be damned.
i
just
know
life
matters
no matter
one’s mistakes.
please
quiet those
racing thoughts
shadowing your light,
thank
u
very much.
wait. don’t take a bow just yet.
xo,
your future self,
zara

Oh wow I have to first say, so expertly done to finish on your own name, and make it a poem, a letter, to you, from your future self! Bravo on that! (If only we could really write letters to our past selves) but I also just love the content of this. The words of advice to yourself. The positive message, no matter your mistakes. Well done!
Love this message Zara. The ‘quiet those racing thoughts shadowing your light’ lines should be pinned to our fridge doors x
I love this, Zara! I love poetry that brings in unique structures, like you did with the composition of a letter. Creative, and sends an important message to the reader! 🤍
Sage counsel from a wizened self.
Oh this is so great!! XO perfect - I loved the entire sentiment and the poem to self - great job & abecedarian.👏
Oooo, this was extremely powerful! Loved your Abecedarian!
Oh well done. Well bloody done, Ms Blume! This is awesome. Love the structure, love the message, love the finely chosen words. Just, awesome!
Awesome!!! Love it!!!
Line W - the word 'take' is repeated. Before the challenge closes...
Nothing benefits the many more than frank, public communication with the self.
Yassss Zara! Loved it
