This poem feels so personal. We’re all in the same boat, trying to quiet that inner voice that tells us we’re not enough. And this piece? It hit like one of those tears that never roll down your face but stay behind, just to remind you of everything you’ve carried. It’s raw, real, and achingly human, the kind of poem that aches quietly and completely.
I love the last line a little too much. It speaks of something in the future, something we haven’t reached yet, but something that still keeps us going. 'When I finally reach the shore, I can proudly say, it's ME, it's ME and nothing else, I've built it from scratch, no miracles.' There’s hope in it. I loved how you summed up the ending. This poem breaks you in all the right places, but somehow, in the end, you send everyone home with a tight hug and a bright smile.
This really touched me. we all go through more than we show and I truly hope we all find our own version of peace and dreams. also you understood the heart of that last lines so well..and i love the way you quoted ..it’s what the whole piece is about!! thank you for sharing your thoughts, means a lot 🫶🏼🫶🏼
It's 4:30 in the morning and I'm wide-awake, shifting through my Substack and wishing (No – not wishing, I never wish for anything anymore) Let's just say thinking that if I could travel back 65 years to my younger self, I would've loved Substack even more, had it existed…..
It’s great to see you here! I can totally imagine how much you would have loved substack back then hehe. I am really glad you’re here now! Hope you are having a good time reading. thanks so much for the comment!
Made me tear up honestly. Your words just pierce through the soul. I like the last part especially, when you say that we didn’t have access to the early train. Also, the reminder of struggles was just too much to take :’)

You're welcome, sometimes I think opening up Substack makes me feel like a dog in a butchers shop!
Its very deep and painful to read. I felt like someone is writing my inner journey of longing and being not enough. Beautifully written ❤️🩹 ❤️
