i am no people’s poet – i am a voice in distress screaming for language, definition – reason – and i digress – i speak for nobody besides myself, since nobody else will –
Poems about self-reliance.
There is no strength like knowing that you can take care of yourself. That you are able to make your own decisions, and as a result shape your life.
Knowing that you can choose whether to accept defeat. Or rather challenge the idea of it, and change your focus, or fight on.
Self-reliance is something the poet prides herself in. But is has been a tough journey to get there, and she fully acknowledges that this is the case.
But choosing to decide for oneself is the single best thing you can do for yourself – even if the choice is as small and stumbling a step as: “I will try to express myself today”.
