There’s a weight on your heart, a storm in your mind,
But every tear that falls, is a step you’ll find.
Don’t let the darkness make you feel small,
Each drop is a step, you’ll rise from it all.
You don’t have to hide what you’re feeling inside,
Those tears aren’t a weakness, they’re a guide.
Every time they fall, they show you the way,
Taking you closer to a brand new day.
Luminous tears, they light your way,
Leading you forward, helping you stay.
Every drop, a step ahead,
Turning pain into strength, like it was said.
Luminous tears, don’t fear the fall,
Each one is a step that will help you stand tall.
When the road feels long, and the night feels cold,
Remember, each tear has a story untold.
They’re not the end, but a sign to believe,
That every heartache will help you achieve.
So let them fall, don’t run from the pain,
Each tear is a promise, breaking the chains.
You’re stronger with every drop you shed,
Every tear’s a step toward what lies ahead.
Luminous tears, they light your way,
Leading you forward, helping you stay.
Every drop, a step ahead,
Turning pain into strength, like it was said.
Luminous tears, don’t fear the fall,
Each one is a step that will help you stand tall.
Every tear you’ve cried, is a mark of your fight,
They’ve painted your path, lighting up the night.
With each drop, you’ve become more than you knew,
Stronger, braver, with a heart that’s true.
The road may be rough, but it’s shaping your soul,
Every tear is a step towards making you whole.
So let them fall, don’t be afraid,
For every tear you shed, a new strength is made.
You’re building the person you’re meant to be,
With every tear, you’re closer to being free.

At sixteen,
I’m wild—
young, untamed,
running through life
with a heart
full of dreams
with mi príncipe
and no fear
of what comes next.

I have a reckless habit of diving headlong into love. I’m the one who leaps without hesitation, casting aside caution and leaving my heart unguarded. No walls, no moats, no watchful sentinels, just an open door, waiting to be crossed. When your love called to me, I rushed toward it, drawn like waves to the shore or roots to fertile earth. I don’t fear the fall or falling short; the plunge itself is where life resides. My heart, a glowing ember, yearns for a spark, igniting into a fire of passionate desire. I crave connection, the touch, the intimacy, the raw beauty of love in all its ebb and flow. I’ve always understood the risks. Each whispered confession carries the weight of uncertainty, the chance that these feelings may not bloom. Yet I leap anyway, without regret, without armor. Vulnerability is my compass, for only through openness can I embrace the fullness of love’s offerings. And even if I emerge bruised and broken, it’s within those ruins that the art of love is most vividly painted. Call me reckless if you will, or a fool. Perhaps I am. But I would rather dive in with abandon, drowning in the depths and soaring in the heights, than live without ever truly loving. To love fully, to risk everything, is to truly live before I die.

I was not made to be quieted,
nor to shrink into the spaces they expect.
I am the storm,
the fire within,
learning to rise with each breath.

In the quiet, I find my power—
it is mine, not given,
crafted through pain, through growth,
and the wisdom that comes from standing tall alone.
I don’t need their validation—
I am whole,
I am enough.
This poem is a deep exploration of a woman's journey toward self-empowerment and resilience. With introspection and unwavering strength, it reflects the quiet power that comes from embracing one's own worth and overcoming societal expectations. It speaks to the process of discovering that true strength lies within, needing no validation or approval from anyone, especially not from men.
I'm afraid of failure
Of becoming a burden
But above all, I'm afraid
Of hurting the ones I love
And ending up alone...

Yet I'm here, I've shown
In the face of my demons
And screamed at them
That they'll never take
The very best of me

So I may not be fearless
I'm quite fine with that
For I'm brave
I never regarded myself as the courageous type... until the day I realized that being brave doesn't mean being fearless. Being brave means facing your fears in order to do what you must.

I do not go through life fearless, nor do I wait until I've conquered fear
Everything I do I do despite fear, fight through every tear, must be better than the prior year
I'm sure there's a word for exactly that, that's a fact, but I call it living
Acknowledge when I fall flat, remember there's no safety mat and I must never go back to the beginning
That's who I want to be, that's what I want to say
But that is not the me I wake up with everyday
I'm unsure,
Insecure,
Immature,
With a bit of a temper
I could go on and on, stop me when it starts to sound familiar...

and when all the noises die down,
silence will come serenading,
resonating you to rest,

let it
console
your soul.

heal through the night.
and live fearlessly
again, through the day.

Dive into the unknown, no fear in sight
I dive into the mysteries, fueling my fire
No room for regrets, no doubts restrain
For in these daring acts, I come to see
Wisdom blooms, boundless and bright.
