Poety Quotes

“I don't write about you because you don't deserve to be immortalised in my words.
I'll leave you to float around in my mind until forgetfulness comes to take you away.”
― J.A. ANUM

“You are like a rich man entering heaven/through the ear of a raindrop.”
― Seamus Heaney

“I Am

I am the voice inside your head,
I am the whore in your lover’s bed,
I am the one who seeks to harm,
I am the scars that blight your arm;

I am the tears you cannot control,
I am what consumes your soul,
I am your mind, your thoughts, your mood,
I am your passive attitude;

I am the emptiness within,
I am the game you cannot win,
I am the fury that you feel,
I am the wound that will not heal;

I am the reason that you cry,
I am the fear that will not die,
I am your self-doubt, guilt and shame,
I am resentment, hate and blame;

I am the sum of all you give,
I am the way you choose to live,
I am all you choose to do,
I am nothing without you.”
― Anonymous

“A poem should never be a tourniquet
You have to let the blood goes where it wants”
― Hera Lindsay Bird, Pamper Me to Hell & Back
