Self care Poems
The Unchanging Hue
by Aditi Hayaran
A little girl in her pretty pink home,
Imperfect for foreign eyes,
For her, it's the perfect dome.
The flowers she planted to heal,
The necessary walls she built.
She knows how to close the windows now
Without any guilt.
It was grey before,
......
Before you pour
by Aditi Hayaran
Empty glasses everywhere,
Everyone's in despair.
You're the soul, kind and warm,
Comforting ones who experienced harm, Emptying yourself for others' sake,
The comforting shield you make,
Getting hurt while trying to heal,
For others, neglecting how you feel.
Before you want to help more,
You need to fill your glass before you pour.

Harsh Winter
by Alexie Fin
it’s crazy
coming to the realization
coming to a situation
out in winter
few clothes and little shelter
giving you my wants
giving you my needs
and expecting nothing in return; yet i feel nothing
......
The Rescue
by Zach Ascot
Breathing thick troublesome air,
Stranded on a platform,
Deep out at sea,
Standing there indefinitely.
Fixated on the horizon,
Waiting for salvation,
In a childlike state,
Envious of seabirds,
Longing for a simpler existence.
