heal

I will not apologize

for choosing myself

this time. 

mind,

body and soul. 

to grow 

and practice self-control. 

there is no one to blame, 

as I put out these flames. 

I was suffering internally. 

a lack of individuality. 

It is not to be selfish,

but to embrace the experience. 

taking care and recreating you

timeless. 

opening the window 

to new parts of you. 

a new aura that others 

will feel. 

a version of myself

that I won't conceal. 

a flower blossomed 

and now 

healed.

I thoroughly enjoyed this poem, and although the hook wasn't very strong, it's creative and meaningful. You kept the topic 'focused' and didn't get distracted in the middle of the stanzas, which a lot of poets tend to do. (it's clear to read and easy to understand.) I hope you continue to write more pieces like this.

I really appreciate your feedback, this poem was very personal/special to me. Most of my poems are focused, because I write my poems when I'm still experiencing things in my life. i love that you caught that! thank you again and I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

once a flower is wounded and broken, it does need to heal itself. I don't feel that is selfish really, because even though we want to care about others, we do have to take care of ourselves as well.
Well expressed, Jada,
j.
