#New Poetry Form

Reflections Of Life

Time to find who I am
Experiencing my faults
Roaring voices assaults
Bringing me down

Accepting my troubles
Opened another door
Showing me a mentor
The inner light

Healing forgiveness
Blessings and gratitude
Changes my attitude
Helps to make peace

Self-transformation starts
Time to pause and reflect
There weren’t any defects
Only pity.
