Thinking About... Poems!

"Never trust a mirror,
For a mirror always lies,
It makes you think that all you’re worth,
Can be seen from the outside.
Never trust a mirror,
It only shows you what’s skin deep,
You can’t see how your eyelids flutter,
When you’re drifting off to sleep,
It doesn’t show you what the world sees,
Where you’re only being you,
Or how your eyes just light up,
When you’re loving what you do,
It doesn’t capture when you’re smiling,
Where no-one else can see,
And your reflection cannot tell you,
Everything you mean to me,
Never trust a mirror,
For it only shows your skin,
And if you think that it dictates your worth,
It’s time you looked within."
~Erin Hanson

Thinking About... Hemingway Poem

A Poem By Ernest Hemmingway

You are not your age,
Nor the size of the clothes you wear,
You are not a weight,
Or the color of your hair.
You are not your name,
Or the dimples in your cheeks,
You are all the books you read,
And all the words you speak,
You are your croaky morning voice,
And the smiles you try to hide,
You are the sweetness in your laughter,
And every tear you’ve cried,
You’re the songs you sing so loudly when you know you’re all alone,
You’re the places you’ve been too,
And the one that you call home,
You’re the things that you believe in,
And the people that you love,
You’re the photos in your bedroom,
And the future you dream of,
You’re made of so much beauty,
But it seems you forgot,
When you decided that you were defined,
By all the things you’re not.

I really liked this poem and wanted to share it with you all!

Have a great day!



If: a Poem By Rudyard Kipling

If By Rudyard Kipling If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;                If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too;                If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or, being hated, don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;   If you can dream - and not make dreams your master; If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with triumph and disaster And treat those two imposters just the same;                If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to broken, And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;               If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breath a word about you loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew                To serve your turn long after they are gone,                And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";               If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;                If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you; If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run - Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!   Happy New Year 2015!
