Vanessa Dizon Alvarez Poems

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'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.
...

The older I grow, the clearer it seems,
truth hides not in words, but in recurring themes.
Apologies fall like fragile glass,
but patterns endure, they do not pass.
...

I wish I didn't see the cracks,
the silence stitched in whispered acts,
the tremor hiding in a smile,
the shadows trailing all the while.
...

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've played the part beyond the page,
A lover lost, a silent sage.
Not out of need, nor hollow plea,
But from the fire that burns in me.
...

I walk alone through midnight rain,
A symphony of soft refrain.
My music hums, the shadows sigh—
The world is still, and so am I.
...

I dwell between the dusk and flame,
No single mask, no single name.
A whisper in the crowded hall,
A shadow where no voices call.
...

When night is thick and hope is thin,
And sorrow claws beneath your skin,
When every breath feels steeped in dread,
And dreams lie broken, cold, and dead—
...

They're not ashamed of what they've done,
Just scared the truth won't come undone.
No guilt within their hollow chest,
Just fear their lies won't let them rest.
...
