Handmade gifts it said,
And I so wanted to fake,
An imaginary sweater,
Or a non-existent dessert.
My heart sank as I realized,
Nobody has ever put in that effort.
Handmade gifts? I never received,
Maybe I was never worth it.
Ever since I was a little kid,
I sat in the corner all alone,
Never really interacted,
Just observed the world around.
I’ve seen the efforts put,
And emotions that are poured,
Into each handmade gift,
None of which were made for me.
So, created this blog,
From depth of my loneliness.
A handmade gift for me,
Made by, oh so loving me!
THIS POEM IS A WORK OF FICTION.
For NaPoWriMo Day 20, handmade gifts.
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much! ❤️
Your welcome!!!
💕
A wonderful poem steeped in longing and the desire for acceptance. A young heart that finds within itself the power to create the beauty and love it so deserves. A story that shows what is often sought without, lives within. Beautiful work! ❤😘🤗
Thank you so much Brad. Sometimes I wonder, how do you always find perfect words to describe each my poems. You do it so beautifully. You words inspire me, encourage me and motivate me. Much love. ❤️
Nice! 😉👍
Thank you so much ❤️
Most relatable and I agree, “handmade” is something long over due many and a forgotten art of ones heart.
Thanks a lot dear. I’m so glad you could relate to this. These days presence is replaces by presents and definitely not handmade ones. It’s kinda sad. 🤗💕
Yes, I do agree. I find it disappointing, trading convenience to be pretentious in a material manner. Are not hand picked wild flowers worth more than store bought roses?
And now an even worse trend is coming. Writing cheques instead of giving gifts. Where is the love and affection and thoughtfulness?? 💔💔
Lost amongst the self absorbed and selfie crowded playing royals. The best of what we have to offer is being dismissed like a summer cold.
So true and sad. 💔😕
Thank you for the conversation. Be blessed…
You too dear. Have a beautiful day. 🤗😘
Beautiful effort 🌸

Your words capture a beautiful sentiment of handmade gifts, in these times of huss and fuss we don’t see many of these. And I think everyone deserves someone who can put in that much effort to appreciate you with a handmade gift…
Thank you so much Vivek. I’m really looking forward to collab with you. 🙈
Me too..😊

Aw, this is so touching!! Does a poem for you count as “handmade”?
Poems are even better… Cause they are “heartmade”! 🙈❤️😘😘
That’s so true! ❤❤🌹🌹

Don’t make me choose… On Soft Skin, Come Closer, My Tonic, and more… Love them all. 🔥💕❤️😘😘😘😘😘😘

This was amazing to read
Keep it up
Thank you so much dear. 💕❣️
You are most welcome
I actually had an idea today:
I thought maybe I would suggest it to you
Why don’t you do a Q & A post so that your followers can get to know you better ?
I don’t want to reveal all my details here. A little bit of mystery keeps the conversation going. 🤗😘
Oh no I didn’t mean details
I meant bloggers to ask you some questions like the ones in your awards or why do you blog
That kind of questions
Let’s keep those details for awards and comments. 🤗😘❣️💕
That’s a good idea I just thought you might be interested in it Thank you for sharing your time <3
Thank you for putting forth your idea. ❤️❣️💕
You are most welcome dear
Stay safe
❤️🥰
You too stay safe! ❤️😘
Thank you very much dear ♥️

Handmade gifts are long gone. No one bothers to put some efforts for someone they love. A sad reality for all…
😟💔💔💔
Hand made gifts are the real gifts… Really lovely one!
Thank you so much! ❤️💕
So sad, but sometimes the best gifts come from ourselves 🙂
True! 😬
It is a very beautiful and wonderful handmade gift to yourself. ❤
Hehe… Thank you. But this poem is really a fiction. 😬🙈🙈🙈
This poem of yours has become my favorite…very beautifully written…about ones loneliness….the desire to be accepted as one is, in its purest form…you are for sure gifted….the way you express….the depths you reach…to connect. Much love, Shreya ❤️🤗
Thank you so much Navin. Your appreciation always means so much to me. I hope to keep writing stuff you like. Much love. ❤️🤗😘😘
You must always write….what you really like…from the heart, that’s full of light….Much love ❤️😘🤗
And the fiction seems real.
That’s what shows poetic perfection.
It was lovely I must say♥️
Thank you so much Rashmi. 🙈🙈🙈🙈🤗🤗🤗💕💕💕 I’m very happy that you liked it. ❤️
The blog that you created is just not a gift for you but all your readers 🙂
🙈🙈🙈 Thank you so much Parikhit! ❤️🤗💕😘😘😘
Nice ❤️
Thank you so much Alexandra! ❣️
Like!! Thank you for publishing this awesome article.
I am sure glad you clarified that this is a work of fiction, I was mentally preparing to buy knitting supplies, a how to knit book, then hand knit for you a most special warm lap blanket, to keep you warm while reading in your favorite chair. Now though, luckily, I don’t also have to worry about all the first aid supplies I would undoubtably have to go through treating my stab wounds, (but clearly, your handmade gift would have been worth it). Thank you again for yet another wonderful post.
Haha… You’re the sweetest!! You always warm my heart!! And so sorry for being off WP for so long. Things have been kinda rough. 🙈🙈
