If You'd To Title Your Life? What Title Would You Choose?

Overcoming against all odds.

'Life's teapot' because on the outside I look clean, bright and attractive, yet inside can feel dark, stained and dirty.. I wrote a poem with the same title once to try and express the two sides of me.


Life’s Teapot

I sit in despair at times having always tried to prove
that I’m an okay person to myself and others too
the only way to describe this feeling felt within
is a damaged broken teapot with chinks on and in

Uneasy in expression, with no one to tell this to
I hide behind a confidence, invented just for you
the deepest darkest fear that I’m really bad inside
all the things you told me, so real that I hide

Impossible to decipher, in case I get it wrong
I try to fight my thoughts, not listen to your song
criticism is hard as I absorb it like a sponge
yet compliments so easy to disbelieve, expunge

In my teapot damaged I admire from afar
the beauty of wholeness, I strive toward my star
Not to be perfection, just to feel complete
little girl and woman as one, not needing to compete

To believe inside the deepest, darkest recess of my heart
that I’m a worthwhile person, then freedom start
to walk tall in self-acceptance, no longer feel disgrace
so the thunderstorms go and rainbows take their place

Faulkes: Beautiful poem :) You have a great talent. I love to write poetry as well. It helps me express myself easier than saying what I feel.

Iron Figurine / The Bubzilla

My partner has often said that there is a hard streak that runs through me, and most people think that I present pretty well, but like iron, the right knock will shatter me apart.

My other nickname is a mashup of my partner's nickname for me, Bubbles, and some workfriends jokingly calling me Godzilla because they can't pronounce my real name, which is Rahela.

The two got mashed up, and so eventually a sign was posted in my office, "Do not stuff with the Bubzilla, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup."

I think both apply.

My partner also says that my nickname is very indicative of me, cute and sweet, but when the 'zilla' side comes out....... :devilish::ninja::mask:
