Refined

Intentions pure, nothing like yours.
my soul the cure, for the obscure.
Emotions trapped from were I stand,
eagerly try to understand.

Reflections mirror what you see,
when you form flaws, while watching me.
Smile towards me, I will grin back,
my energy will not attack.

Slander my name, I turn my face,
within my time, dirt has no space.
Wild frazzled ways, no one can take.
reclaim the peace, you take away.

Remain so strong, stand up for me,
the only heart, I can foresee.
Look straight ahead, mind fully knows,
kindness supplants, love always grows.

– Grace Y. Estevez – Reddy

    Wow, Grace… Was this written with somebody in particular in mind?

  2. beautiful, dear friend. i especially love the part kindness supplants. you are a genius the way you subtly interjected that. i forgot who said it that the universe doesn’t like voids. thank you always for your poetry.

  3. So well said, Grace! The last line is universal truth. An inspirational poem ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’–

  4. This poem is so beautiful and speaks to me of inner strength. Is this something you’ve written referring to yourself? It’s very powerful – if written about yourself, it’s very courageous and heartfelt. I love it. Xx ๐Ÿ’›
