This is a tender poem about reconnecting with our soul after years of neglect. It highlights the journey of self-reflection and healing, showing that the most important reconciliation is with ourselves.

The poem illustrates the bravery needed to confront our mistakes, accept our wounds, and choose love and self-acceptance.

“Meeting My Own Heart”

Tonight, my heart longs to meet me,
To wash the shadows from my eyes.
To reckon gently with my past,
And ask my soul to forgive its cries.

The mirror revealed what I concealed,
Stories I buried, dreams I denied.
How often I silenced my own voice,
To please the world, I let myself slide.

With every step, I made concessions,
Traded truth for fleeting disguise.
But tonight, I turn to my tender heart,
To heal the wounds I left inside.

I will learn to hold my own hand,
To breathe with the rhythm my spirit sings.
No more betrayal, no neglect,
Only wholeness that self-love brings.

This journey is rugged, yet sweet as dawn,
Each scar a poem, each tear reborn.
Soul meeting soul, a sacred embrace,
I walk renewed with gentle grace.

Tonight, my heart returns to me,
The weight of sorrow washed and gone.
I welcome life with open arms,
And crown my days with joy well-won.
