Vanessa Alvarez Poems

I'm not who I was, I've weathered the storm,
I've changed through the fire, reshaped every form.
I've carried the weight of betrayal and loss,
And learned that my peace comes at a cost.
...

You don't need to know the plan,
Just take today with open hand.
Not every step will feel secure,
But trust in Him—His love is sure.
...

I've learned that plans may fall apart,
That dreams can crack a tender heart.
That not all wounds will mend with time,
And not all wrongs will turn to rhyme.
...

I thought you smiled when I was glad,
But truth revealed, it made you mad.
The joy I held, the light I knew,
Became annoyance deep in you.
...

It warms my heart to see their days,
Now free from struggle's heavy haze.
Their lives are brighter, eased of pain,
No longer bound by hardship's chain.
...

I hope you wander, bold and bright,
Chasing dreams in morning light.
I hope you taste the world's delight,
And dance beneath the stars at night.
...

Be brave enough to drop disguise,
To meet yourself with open eyes.
Beneath the masks, beneath the show
There lives the soul you need to know.
...

Write your story, line by line,
In ink that's bold, in voice divine.
Close the pages when you must,
Begin again with hope and trust.
...

You never know whose heart you mend,
Whose broken soul begins to bend.
A smile, a hug, a word so small
Might be the thing that saves it all.
...

This is for you, worn down and low,
Who walks through storms with nowhere to go.
For days that drag, for nights that sting,
For hearts too tired to feel a thing.
...
