Self-Worth

White, Dave. Sell Yourself. July 1, 2024, Dave White Illustrations.

Lately, I feel worthless.
I needed to find some value in me,
So I sold what I had
For little a fee.

My eyes for a penny
I sold to some fools,
They’re blind and useless,
Mistook for jewels.

My lips for a nickel
To the sweetest sin,
So they’ll know the love
That has never been.

My ears for a dime
I sold to a lover.
To hear sweet nothings,
And silence uncover.

My hands for a quarter
I sold to a ghost,
So that she might feel
What I’ve wanted the most.

Finally my bones for a dollar
I sold to the earth,
But as for my soul-
There was found no worth.

    Anyone tried aaajili2 yet? Saw some ads for it. Looks like a decent enough platform, but I always try things out myself first before committing. Let me know what you think. aaajili2

    "My Door’s Key" opens the locked door to depression’s hidden battles. With raw honesty and vivid imagery, it reveals the weight of mental illness, the silence behind the smile, and the courage it takes to seek healing. A poem of pain, vulnerability, and the hope for connection.

    Courted By Eternity

    Emily Dickinson transforms Death into a gothic gentleman suitor in “Because I could not stop for Death.” This haunting vision of mortality as civility and courtship resonates with the mission of Poetic Bipolar Mind: to find tenderness within terror, beauty within darkness, and meaning in life’s inevitable shadows.

    Vibrance Against the Weight of Numbness

    Dave White’s Sea Creatures and Kiana Jimenez’s A World in Gray intertwine in a haunting contrast of vibrance and numbness. The lively ocean world collides with the poem’s grayscale despair, showing how depression can make even the most vibrant spaces feel isolating, adrift, and suffocating.
