In chains disguised as loving care,
You miss the freedom once found there.

#Poetry #DarkPoetry #ToxicLove #Freedom #SelfLove

To please another and lose your way,
Is a price too high for love to pay.

#Poetry #DarkPoetry #SelfRespect #ToxicRelationships #KnowYourWorth

Sharing a life, a breath, a dream,
Can leave a wounded soul unseen.

#Poetry #DarkPoetry #Heartache #SelfWorth #EmotionalPain

The weight of routine can dim the light,
And turn warm days to endless nights.

#Poetry #DarkPoetry #Relationships #EmotionalHealing #DeepThoughts

My heart finds peace beneath the sky,
No storms of love to make me cry.

#Poetry #DarkPoetry #InnerPeace #SingleLife #EmotionalFreedom

My time, my space, my path to trace,
I walk through life at my own pace.

#Poetry #DarkPoetry #Independence #SelfLove #Freedom

No chains to bind, no soul to own,
I bloom in peace, my heart my own.

Por Afrodita,
diosa del amor,
Prometo serme fiel
y respetarme
durante el resto
de mis vidas.

Je ne me sens plus moi-même :
Je me suis usurpé mon identité.

But wait, there's more! I've now added Sunday's Open Mike poetry and music event at the Office Bar, 124 Riddiford St, Newtown from 4-6pm to the post. The theme is Pōtihia / Vote, and this is everyone's chance to read their political poems! @modernletters.bsky.social #poetry #nzpol
