Finding Self-Worth

Controls one’s own happiness?
I do.

Yet, there is more to it.

And.

Yet, there is not.

Why DO we fight it so
when the results are
happiness?

Yes, Poetry Tumble Too, finally continues, in spite of work to be done, kitchens to be packed, blogs and books to be read, calls to be made. (Oops, consider that my reminder!)

But I must wait to begin the next poem in the series with the simple line, “happiness”, for poetry and blogging has grabbed valuable time, it was happiness made, but now, the happiness to be made is self-worth in having gotten the job done… so I must start it to get it done!

Do you make your own happiness more often than not?

Good Day Find, Poetry tumbles

09. Good Day Find

One can only hope
their day gets better

though, if truth were told,
should they remember
to force a smile or two,
to put one step forward
toward recovering their losses
toward cementing a moment’s peace
in their heart

it would not be hope needed
quite as much as
determination
after realization of
who really
controls one’s own happiness.

Revenge and Appearances

07. Revenge of a Woman

of conscious thought
her words were born

by deliberate means
cruel action done

for specific use
(her personal gain)

… had only she
foreseen its cost

08. Appearances – Lost and Found

Foreseen its cost?
I think not.

Neither had dared examine hearts
nor weigh future versus past
for survival of appearances,
high profile man, trophy wife,
had gained a stronghold on their life

And the children went without nothing – material

Neither had dared share dreams pent up
nor weigh humanity versus mannequin
for survival of appearances,
ladder climbed, woman’s beauty flaunted,
had gained a stronghold on their life

And the children learned to climb and paint

Neither had dared test ladder’s construction
nor weigh side effects of repeated surgery
and demise of appearances,
ladder pulled out, trophy tarnished beyond repair,
had gained a stronghold on their life

And the children learned their lesson?
One can only hope.

Introspective War

06. Introspective War

To just be
all I can be
would be enough

but seeking what could be
demands I understand

what. should. have. been.

And does not that require
introspection?

And would not such

sabotage
Muse’s right to freedom
of expression?

and would not such

exhaust
my brain’s resources
of conscious thought?

This continues my Poetry Tumble, Too. Today’s thought was prompted by a niece’s remark on her wall. (Facebook)

Write, y’all, it is National Poetry Month. Read, y’all… Get caught up in poetry – of any kind – on any level. There is poetry for everyone somewhere. Let the hunt begin.

Poetry Tumble, Too continues:

Just Be

if only so we, too, can follow along

may you sing your joy
may you warm a heart

may you stretch your dreams
may you increase your wisdom

may you shed your tears
may you bend to help
may you set high goals

may you remember

to just be.
