"hugging" poems
I LOVE MYSELF With all my flaws In my Beautifulness, In my mistakes, In my weakness, In my darkness. I love myself, because I am worth it. I am a high power person who can move mountains with my love, thoughts and dreams I am good, kind, funny, full of life and love, contagious with my explosive energy Some things may be equally essential but nothing is more important than loving oneself And at this moment the love I have for myself goes above and beyond. It could reach the end of the universe if I just unwrap it I love me in my inane, craziest, sanest, beautiful twisted, darkest and funniest way I love me in a way that no one does I love me in my fullest woes I am everything that I can and will be I am frightfully proud of my flaws and proudly wearing them as no one is perfect This is the start of a new journey to me The journey of love and self acceptance The journey to fully embrace and value my own self I allow myself to fall in my stupidest and biggest way, just to get back up and catch my breath again Failure will not stop me but make me stronger I am fully seeing me and smiling at my imperfected and distorted reflection Hugging myself so tightly, refusing to let go The more I am spending time with me, The more and more my love grows Is it bad for my health ? I do not think so. It’s true, I am better, happier, more free, powerful, at peace The sun is shining on me I don’t need no help to be beautiful, ‘cause I’ve got me I’ve got that uncontainable light from within me I am smoldering a treasure, sharing laughter, joy and sadness with myself I have learnt the phases of myself So distant from that little insecure girl I used to know As I allow her opinions to matter I have accepted her difference Her different kind of beauty, I have learned to love This feeling of wholeness, self acceptance, comfort and love, is liberating I wrap myself around my contorted and beautiful else to form a ME As I am, Raw and Real

Me, Myself and I
I LOVE MYSELF With all my flaws In my Beautifulness, In my mistakes, In my weakness, In my darkness. I love myself, because I am worth it. I am a high power person who can move mountains with my love, thoughts and dreams I am good, kind, funny, full of life and love, contagious with my explosive energy Some things may be equally essential but nothing is more important than loving oneself And at this moment the love I have for myself goes above and beyond. It could reach the end of the universe if I just unwrap it I love me in my inane, craziest, sanest, beautiful twisted, darkest and funniest way I love me in a way that no one does I love me in my fullest woes I am everything that I can and will be I am frightfully proud of my flaws and proudly wearing them as no one is perfect This is the start of a new journey to me The journey of love and self acceptance The journey to fully embrace and value my own self I allow myself to fall in my stupidest and biggest way, just to get back up and catch my breath again Failure will not stop me but make me stronger I am fully seeing me and smiling at my imperfected and distorted reflection Hugging myself so tightly, refusing to let go The more I am spending time with me, The more and more my love grows Is it bad for my health ?

I can lay right next to you and never touch you I can see you smile from across the room without kissing you I can watch you leave the room and resist hugging you goodbye But sometimes when I'm next to you you have to ask me to move away Because for a few minutes I let fantasy get confused with reality and I lean against you during a movie And it's so warm your arm and mine, touching for that minute I'm at peace But when you ask of course I make room Because I don't want you to feel uncomfortable And if you weren't my friend I would probably try it just once, to know what it would be like to kiss you But ideally, I'll get over this and when I am, we'll still be friends So in the meantime I try not to think about kissing you and I only hug you when I have reason to What I'm saying is I will do what I can to keep myself sane and our friendship intact But just know that with every look I give I wish I could give so much more.

I know you won’t read this and I know you won’t care but I will tell you what it was like. It was blurry. it was slow but time was running fast. It was dusty feet and dusty souls. It was feeling nothing and then all at once. It was hating you to drown the urge of hugging you. It was writing a poem and post it wishing you will relate to it. But who cares, you don’t.

Dust.
Have you ever felt A compelling urge To hug somebody? To just wrap your arms around them And never let go? You just want to drop everything And hug that person, Touch them, Embrace them. You just want to be near them. Forever. No talking. Just hugging. Because you seem to say more, Have deeper discussions, When you’re in each other’s arms Then when conversing aloud. That’s the kind of bond I want to have with someone Some day. Because the simplest of things Speak louder Than any words Ever will.

My Hug Buddy
Why is it When I see your face All I could think of, is how much I miss you? How much I want to keep laughing And hugging And cuddling you. How much I want to keep you safe inside my arms While your voice kept on mumbling about her. I just can't help myself From loving you Even though you still don't understand it. Why am I trying so hard to give you as much lights as I can When I don't even have a small gleam to keep myself awaken And alive? All you're doing, is break me and hide the scars Putting on as many band-aids as you can And making my skin joins up together again But you never take the time To look inside my flesh And see how much veins, and thews you have tore. You flip my world upside-down You break my bones all the time You kissed my hopes away Can you at least fix me once again?

Longing
Dreaming of walking model thin Unaware she's bones and skin She lives in a damaged brain Drowned from her vomiting pain Her insecurity torn up her mind Left her bulimic and mentally blind Always hugging her toilet beside Half dead from purging her soul inside Crying because her ugly reflection She won't give up until she's perfection

Bulimia
i need a hug, not a false side one. a really long one. one in which i just disappear from the world. nothing else will matter. not the fact that me and you have both moved on and found someone new. i need one so tight that i can feel my bones being crushed and pressured until they s h a t t e r . until i see nothing but a black screen. because all of what i've seen is pain and hurt. people fall and are pushed to instantly get back up and brush off the dirt. let's hug. until we both disappear.

hugging
I can see Cecily's ****** bars. Sammy can see them as well. After he speaks I keep catching him peek. She knows that he sees, I can tell. Bailey has smoked too much **** again. He's dribbling over my shoes. He acted all jokey And tried out smoke me. It went without saying he'd lose. Tom's on the floor by the table. We don't know if he's alive, Hugging Joe's feet, Who is slumped on the seat. I don't think they're due to survive. Chris had a couple of pills. Ethan a tab or a few. Toria's tweaking, Max is just peaking, Matt's throwing up in the loo. I'm on the sofa while writing, Louie beside me in tears. We may have our issues With drugs and their misuse, But **** it, it gives me ideas.

Friday Nights
The warmth of the sun settles, hugging the lake. The dragonfly flies low, hovering above the tranquil water the light seeping through the paper thin skin, it hums across the lake, refracting light off its wings, An array of colors make patterns on the wings, wearing it like a cloak, a rainbow embedded within. The colors tilt and shift as the dragonfly gracefully cruises through life, laying close to the water but letting the air propel it forward, floating between two different worlds, it is like a dream where our thoughts are separated from reality, and are scattered like refracted light for us to assemble.   Through a screen of our dreams, a world can be seen. A world of hopes and desires that is dormant within The light of life just soaks us bare, our skin turns frail, under the scorching glare, the glare of eyes that want you to be, someone that is accepted by society. the dragonfly bathes itself in the sun, the iridescent colors shine on its skin, flying and floating, he’s determined to win a predator, determined to get what it wants nothing blocking its way or paving its path making the most out of life and never holding back spread your wings like the dragonfly that hums its way through life, dipping its wings in the sun to shine, breaking free a life of colors, that we leave locked and forgotten, behind a reality made of black and white, the black ink seeping through our minds, injecting us with ideas of the 'ideal life' where money and fortune, and status define. Bathe your mind in the wonders of the world, soak your heart in life's warmth and glow, and pave your own path, with the dreams you sow.

Dear Dad, I know that you're somewhere else, hopefully somewhere beautiful, somewhere where you aren't in pain anymore. It all just happened so fast, Christmas Eve I was out to dinner with you later that night you were gone. Trust me, that was the worst present I've ever gotten. It hit me that it'll be 17 months without you in 10 days and I still pick up my phone and try to call you but then I remember you aren't there anymore and I can't. That's what kills me the most, because the people that have their Dads to talk too treat them like **** because they don't know how it feels when they can't talk to him at all anymore. If I could go back in time I wouldn't have treated you the way I did, because I can't help but hate myself for not hugging you back more and kissing you more and telling you how much I actually care. Ever since I lost you Dad it's been really hard trying to let people in I don't want too lose someone that means so much to me it killed me inside especially losing you because now who's going to walk me down the isle? or kiss my baby girl's head and hold her like you once held me. It's night like tonight when I cry myself to sleep and ask myself a million questions about why you had to leave me, when I needed you the most and how I'm going to have to get over the fact that you aren't going to be there to watch me grow up anymore. I know that you're my guardian angel and that you look down over me I just wish that I would've said I love you more and got to say my actual final goodbye

What is a Father? Is he a Person? A Thing? Or a Feather? What is his Life? Is it Carefree and Spontaneous Or Tormenting and Strife? Who is he in which a Person could know? What are his Abilities which only he could show? Does he Work, for the sake of a Family? Or sleeps and pigs around, being a Menace and Lazy? Who could this man be, to the Eyes of Children, A Hard Rock or a Soft Leaven? Does he Pile over Everyone And takes Control? Is he the Eagle, the Head of the Nest, Playing a very important Role? Does he impersonate Father Christmas With all his Treats and Gifts? Is he a Lover, with a Strong Heart for ******* Hugging greatly and giving Love-Lifts? Does he Pray, Or Face-Religious? Or a Braver, Or Spontaneous? Is he a Disciplinarian Wherewithin all Members under him Are tuned to his Command? Or a Freester, Who gives his Kids their darling Freedom Without any Demand? Does he care, For the People and Loved Ones around him? Is he Provocative, Uncaring for Anyone behind his Dim? Mostly, he is the Grass, Herding the Future for his Offspring? Or the Lamb, Stubborn and very Unwilling? And so, whatever he is, Or does, A Father is a Father, Anonymous or Specific I wouldn't mind. Just as long as he has HEART, STRENGTH, FREEDOM and PROSPERITY, KINDNESS, BRAVE, PROTECTIVE And RELIABILITY. I'll be Glad and Content. As any Son should be.

THE FATHER
It happens. Will it go on? ---- My mind a rock, No fingers to grip, no tongue, My god the iron lung That loves me, pumps My two Dust bags in and out, Will not Let me relapse While the day outside glides by like ticker tape. The night brings violets, Tapestries of eyes, Lights, The soft anonymous Talkers: 'You all right?' The starched, inaccessible breast. Dead egg, I lie Whole On a whole world I cannot touch, At the white, tight Drum of my sleeping couch Photographs visit me- My wife, dead and flat, in 1920 furs, Mouth full of pearls, Two girls As flat as she, who whisper 'We're your daughters.' The still waters Wrap my lips, Eyes, nose and ears, A clear Cellophane I cannot crack. On my bare back I smile, a buddha, all Wants, desire Falling from me like rings Hugging their lights. The claw Of the magnolia, Drunk on its own scents, Asks nothing of life.

Paralytic
The stigma that sensitive people are weak needs to diminish. Just because she feels things down to her bones does not mean she is weak. She carries everything. Her feelings, other people’s feelings, the world around her as she takes it all in. * * * Sensitivity is deemed feeble. Thick-skinned people are the brave ones, right? They have endured so much that they no longer feel anything. Snide remarks, rude comments, and stressful situations roll off their skin like water during a storm. If it’s already pouring, why worry about each droplet? * * * That is the problem, she thought to herself. Are brave people truly brave? No. Brave people are the true cowards. Rather than taking their experiences and feeling them, letting them seep into their bones to become the marrow which fuels their bodies, they shut them away; skeletons in a closet. They have become numb to the baggage they carry at the expense of growing numb to everything else. * * * People around her are merely living in this world, she decided, whereas she was absorbing it. In the spring she lays in the grass, running her fingers through each blade as if it were the Earth’s hair. When summer nights bring a light breeze, she imagines spirits are hugging her. In the fall when it rains, she spreads her arms wide and gazes up to the sky, knowing that each water droplet that falls is Mother Nature peppering her skin with kisses. * * * Others are too preoccupied making sure their skeletons do not peer out of the closet. Strength, after all, is the ability to withstand vast amounts of pressure and God knows how much force those skeletons must bear. * * * In the middle of the night, her father hears her talking to someone, except there is no response. It is as if she is conversing with herself when in actuality, she is conversing with her skeletons. After midnight when others have drifted off to sleep, hoping that their skeletons do not come to haunt them, she is wide awake, her closet door open. She lays in bed and asks her anxiety how it’s day was, laughs at a witty comment that her depression has made about her life, and gives thanks to the insult a bully gave her in the first grade for making her the person she is today. The things that should weigh her down, she has befriended. They come to visit so often, anyways. * * * She wonders how someone who has mastered the art of suppressing their feelings is braver than someone who has mastered the art of acknowledging their feelings. The strength it takes to keep the closet door shut is immense. However, it takes an unsurpassable amount of resilience to carry the world in her heart and soul while still having the courage to open her closet without being afraid of the things that could jump out at her.

My arms wrapped around you, yours around me. We stand together in our now natural hug. Although my height is sometimes a challenge You feel warm; your back is straight and toned. How does our hug feel from your side? Does my back feel firm or yielding? What is the sensation under your fingers? Of the fabric next to my skin, my undergarments? Our hug is just one Of a striking variety we receive in a lifetime From friends, lovers, family, near-strangers An act seemingly simple but in truth, complex The first hug you remember from childhood: your Mum Warm and safe, and maybe a little squeezed But her blouse is soft, and her arms reach around you nearly twice. You are so small, and she is so big. Your teen-age years, acquaintances: single arm hug Air kisses, a quick pat, a gentle rub It’s social hugging to keep up appearances Feeling awkward, you’d rather shake hands Your first true love – long, grasping, gasping embraces That leave invisible marks on your clothing and skin underneath A desire for another, the promise of more Maybe in future, the touch of your fingertips on clothing-free skin. Again a hug from your Mum, 40 years after her first The alignment is different; somehow she has shrunk Still warm and safe, yet with a different body tone A kiss on her cheek is soft to your lips – a hug to last the ages.

Hug
I never knew what caused the truck to crash into our car that morning. Perhaps it was the rain and the road was slippery, perhaps it was yet again another case of “do not drink and drive”, or perhaps the man behind the wheel was not at all to blame, and that it was the fault of the engines. The crash and screech of metal on metal was deafening. It happened so fast and when I woke, I looked to my side and saw a face I knew so well, except this time I could not see her beautiful features; her skin was covered in blood, like red paint splashed onto a plain white canvas. And in the red I could see glistening shards of glass, like diamonds proud to have finally found an owner. Then I heard in the distance, voices and shouts. I could not make out the words they were saying, as if I was trying to hear someone underwater. I looked up outside the window, and there stood a man shouting at me, a foreign face. I feel my tiny figure being carried out of the car window, as the door decided it would not open. We waited on the terrace of an old lady’s house for help to come. The shock made me feel numb and so I just sat quietly, with the cry of my nanny in the background, her body hugging my sister and my mother, who are unconscious and have yet to know what had happened. Then, I did not how, but I arrived at the hospital where I saw my dad run past me into the room. I remember mostly the smell of disinfectant and finding little pieces of glass in my hair. I lost my ability to speak for a few days after the incident, and I feel now that it impacted me more than I thought it did. The shock and horror are no longer, but it is strange now to remember what had happened. When I close my eyes and recall the accident, some details are so vivid and clear. Yet at the same time, I feel as though it all never happened, like it was some sort of false memory implanted in my head for no apparent reason.

Unloved
Don't deflect my insecurities Acknowledge them for they are real Don't brush aside my inadequacies I can't help the way I feel Hugging myself close, searching for reassurance Through tear-stained glass I grief strickenly see Seemingly I've lost my tight-rope balance Clambering up ever so desperately May think I'm wilful Because I often get consumed Don't judge me unstable Just dormant emotions exhumed Place a palm against my chest Between sobs, my heart beats strong Laying my turbid mind to rest As I whisper me the comfort that I long Don't be afraid of me I know I tend to get lost Alone in my storm swept dinghy Susceptible to the chills of frost I can't control, I get carried away With the dream I'm set to pursue I can't curb or hold myself at bay I'm weak because I haven't got a clue...
