Self-Growth Poems By Laura Fuller
A Humble Heart
By Laura Fuller
Sometimes in life, we are humble, yet we get arrogant and let a nasty monster steal our humility. These words are a reminder of what it is to be humble and how quickly our world can change. Self-growth comes from seeing the need for change and finding the balance.
A Humble Heart
What is this action?
that sits in wait?
It rears it’s head
and flashes it’s teeth.
I know that word
I need to think
I recognize the urge
of arrogance in wait.
But a humble heart
can it stand?
will it stumble?
will it fall?
A heart that swells
brings down lives
rubbish all around.
So much sadness
and sorrow to bear
Where oh where
has humility gone?
Eaten by the monster
that sits in wait.
Riddles Of Lies
By Laura Fuller
When we talk in circles or don’t give straight answers to questions, we are evading the answer or lying. It is best, to tell the truth in kindness. But if you notice yourself doing this, it may be time to reflect on the situation and invest in some self-growth.
Riddles Of Lies
Riddles are used
to provide an answer
to evade a question
when spoken aloud.
My breath wasted no
on riddles of lies
to questions I speak.
A thought my friend:
Questions asked
demand answers
straightforward and honest
Make Me Happy
By Laura Fuller
make me happy-
No one can make another person happy. No one can change another. We cannot expect someone to be the route of our happiness. How we view life, and our thoughts are what make us happy. If you have had a hard life, you can still rewire your mind to positive thoughts and happiness. Please think about this for a moment and see if some self-growth is in your future.
Make Me Happy
Make me happy
make me laugh.
Build me up
be my all.
What? Why?
Cause I don’t want
to be responsible
for me!
Too Much Stuff
By Laura Fuller
Are you a collector of stuff? Do you just keep adding more stuff to your home, but your life still feels empty? Stuff cannot take the place of love and kindness, even though at times we feel like it can.
Too Much Stuff
The room is stuffed
my life is stuffed
the world is stuffed
with stuff.
Why stuff?
Why Me?
Stuff is warm
cozy and cuddly.
Stuff is happy
love and wanting
stuff talks
and holds me.
Oh, NO! WAIT!
Stuff can’t move
can’t talk
can’t love!
Help I have too much stuff!
A Guide To Me
By Laura Fuller
Everything we go through in life has significance, the good and the bad. Memories are made of these moments. Throughout life, we will remember what has happened. When it is bad, or we have made a mistake, we keep kicking ourselves. It is a part of life to take every moment and memory to learn and push ourselves toward self-growth.
A Guide To Me
Can you see it?
My friend?
What I see
deep down in my soul
I pull it on up
Knowing not what lies
ahead
Maybe it’s dark
or sparkling bright
maybe pain
or delight
or a child
from years gone by
or a thing I said
from yesteryears
no matter what I see
self-reflection is a guide
to a better me.
Stuck In A Bottle
By Laura Fuller
I originally wrote this poem after I had a blood clot in my lungs. This is what it felt like not to breathe well. But what about life? At times things may be so overwhelming that it feels like the air is being sucked right out of you. No matter how much life is sucking the air out of you, don’t give in to fear. Keep moving forward, learn, improve, and times will get better.
Stuck In A Bottle
Oh, God
What is this I feel?
Squeezed in a bottle
lungs open freely
air rushes in
stand, walk.
But I gotta get out
I push up
can’t move
can’t expand
in a bottleneck
Oh, God
I’m stuck
Can’t breathe
Oh, My what if?
what if?
Lost Happy
By Laura Fuller
Have you ever been so wrapped up in life that you missed parts of it? I’m sure you have. Between work and family, you can forget to take care of yourself. Then one day, you realize you are no longer happy. Always keep in touch with who you are and how you feel.
Lost Happy
What? Of course I’m happy!
I don’t smile
cause I’m to busy
I don’t laugh
cause I’m too tired
I don’t play
cause I’m too old.
While I was busy
I got too tired
While I was frowning
I got too old
With my eyes closed
happiness snuck away
I’m afraid
I’ve lost my happy.
Brick Wall
By Laura Fuller
When you run up against a brick wall that you have tried to get over, under, and through, never give up. There is a solution when you have peace, patients and keep moving forward.
Brick Wall
I pushed on
the day was long
constitution strong
a blink of my eye
I hit the wall
of brick so thick and tall
I climbed
I crawled for oh so long
then just the other side
the missing piece
no eye could see
I looked high
I searched low
back I went
out of the slime
to the other side
I chipped away
at the brick wall so tall
with mine heart
the answer I see
In the center of
patience
peace
perseverance.
Limbo
By Laura Fuller
I wrote this poem many years ago. Then life got in the way of my passions and desires—the kind of things like work, a career, and family. After a while, you start forgetting about what your passion was. It is a blessing when one day you are reminded through self-examination and self-growth and find yourself again.
Limbo
My Mind was boggled, torn and twisted
With worries of what to do?
My life was in limbo
suspended in space
with thoughts of starting over
Do I stop, do I quit, do I start again?
Then I woke one sunny morn
chasing a dream
put in my head
by ones unknown
my dream, my vision
was not my own
I cleansed my mind
of suspended thoughts
smoothed my torn and twisted brain
my dream buried deep within
I dug it up and washed it off
for my mind and soul to align
with the dream
a vision of my heart
I’m to write, inspire and build you up
the love and passion
of my dream
Opportunity
By Laura Fuller
Has life knocked on your door and instead of letting it in and grasping the opportunity, you walked away. Keep your eyes and heart open for when opportunity knocks again. It is a time of self-growth and maturity when you realize life is not all play. It takes work to move forward.
Opportunity
Opportunity walked my way
but I wanted to go out to play
I need some money
my day is sunny
I can’t pay my bills
I’m hungry still
Opportunity ran away
where are you today
Just Get Over It
By Laura Fuller
How many times have you heard “just get over it.” If you did let it go, would you have missed a moment of self-growth? Eventually, you can let go of whatever the issue was, but first, you have to grow and work through the problem.
Just Get Over It
Just get on
move on past
get over it
“they all say”
feelings not
emotions play
just get on
If I could
giddy up
move along
I can’t
stay here
nor linger
I can’t
be sad
nor mad
just get on
if I would
“they say”
Kiss Of Light In Time
By Laura Fuller
Can you change time, hold onto time, slow it down, or make it go faster? No, you can’t. You can, however, accept time, good or bad, and use it to heal and promote self-growth. This type of self-growth comes from self-reflection. Looking at the past and changing parts of yourself may improve who you are.
Kiss Of Light In Time
What is time?
Will it be mine?
Can I control it?
A kiss of time?
Can I hold it tight?
Where is time?
Will it be fine?
How will I know?
A kiss in time.
The mind does flow.
What is self-growth? Self-growth is moving forward. Self-growth is reflecting on your past and your future. Self-growth is learning from mistakes. Self-growth is healing and becoming a better person. Self-growth is loving who you are. Self-growth is maturity. Self-growth is the ultimate in self-care.
Do you see where I’m going with this? Self-growth is everything that improves your life.
There is a lesson to be learned from each one of these poems. A moment of self-reflection and self-examination that will lead you to self-growth. Take a moment to see each part of your life that you can change and improve you. Because when you improve yourself you also improve the world around you.
