Insecurities
There's a heavy weight
pulling me down
A rope with rock
Tightly tied on my feet
Deeper and deeper
Until I can no longer breathe
A sea of thoughts
swallows me
drowning me
bit by bit
Where is salvation?
My voice is empty
I can't scream
Maybe acceptance
is the only way
to swim.

Time Out
Shotgun
Roots
Jeepney Stories
Hue and I
Pastime
Late Night Conversations
By the Window
Island Girl
A Quest for Hope
Omnipotent
Flight
The Lost Man
Sun
This City
Ode to that Summer of My Unrequited Love
Solfège
Blue Ocean
Let it Flow

Another beautiful poem. You're on a roll, my friend. ;-)
Thank you @crescendoofpeace! Thanks for dropping by Cori. :)
This was beautiful. A lot of meaning is given by the title. Fighting and resisting will only make us drown quicker, and we have to accept certain things, no matter if they are not so beautiful or positive. Life has its ups and downs and we must accept both to be able to swim with the tides.
I agree with everything that you just said Jeremy. But just like other things, acceptance is easier said than done. We just need to take it slowly ,eventually we will learn to love ourselves, both the good and the bad.
Yeah, it's easier said than done. Although, admitting it and being aware of it is always the first step ;)
I agree. :)
Nice words, @reewritesthings. A lot of people can relate to this, including me.
Thank you so much @jan.lives :)
