Esther L Krenzin

It is not weak to yield
nor is it courageous
to rely on subterfuge
Speaking your inner truth
comes from daring to brave
eye rolls
shaking of heads
and mouths that smile yet
form cruel sentences all the same
You'll bleed
dripping perspiration
oozing all the love
you cannot find
Just when it seems as if
the sun is obscured by clouds
you get to your feet
tense muscles unclenching
utterly at the mercy
of all the light
you are just now starting to see.

-Esther L. Krenzin-
-Roguesong-

Speak your truth. Live your dream. Act on your word.

The life of a poet is hard,
People think that they love your work,
But it's not just work,
Its our life.

Beautiful Soul

Beautiful Soul

You have a beautiful soul
It's been beaten
Tortured and tamed
Don’t hide it
You have a beautiful soul
Living inside
Let it out
Let it shout
Don’t
Let it hide
Let your inner beauty
Shine out

Let Go

Let Go

It was tough when my boyfriend ignored me in front of our friends,
It was tougher when I pretended I did not care a hoot,
I realized the door to his heart was not meant for me,
My heart was broken,
Not my life.
Thank you for loving me,
For the hugs,laughs and kisses,
For ignoring and hurting me,
Most of all for teaching me to let go.

What We Are

What We Are

Sometimes we aren’t meant
To be more than what we see
Make believe past reality
Not meant to be more than
What we are meant to be
What we are
Is intrinsic to us
What we sometimes
See and think we will be
We already are
