When she stopped needing validation
And just focused on herself
She realised she should probably
Re-evaluate everything else.
Needless is a short poem by Ms Moem.

Brimful Of Aspiration | Short Poem
Brimful of aspiration,
Of energy and passion,
She decided she was worth it;
That’s when the magic happened.
Brimful Of Aspiration is a short poem by Ms Moem.
You Belong With Me
You Belong With Me
You belong with me, my love
And I belong with you.
We should live life side by side
In everything we do.
You belong with me today,
For now and ever more.
And I belong with you, my dear,
The one that I adore.
We were meant to be, I know;
It’s written in the stars.
I love the way we are as one
And everything you are.
Just think of all the moments
Aligning for us to meet
So once we found each other
We were bound to feel complete.
But this part of our story
We’ll sit and write together.
Hanging memories on the wall
Of the home we’ll share forever.
So, both of us are certain
As we each say ‘I do’
That you belong with me, my love,
And I belong with you.

Own The Sky Poem
Own The Sky – I wrote this poem back in 2014! Original post here: http://msmoem.com/2014/poetry-2/spread-your-wings/
I keep seeing it being shared, though it has sadly lost credit along the way. It’s bittersweet. Even so, it’s still pretty special to see people quoting it alongside their instagram pictures.
Incidentally, if you’d like to keep up with my poetry on instagram, come and find me @msmoem.
Here are a few examples of my poem out in the wild. Bonus points go to the few lovely souls who have indeed tagged me in which makes me happy:
It is so important if you see some words you like that someone else has taken the time to write, to remember to attribute the work to the author. You wouldn’t take a painting and claim to have created it yourself. Artforms like poetry are in the same category.
Without sounding all woe is me, it can be hard as a poet to find your place in the world to be heard. And that aside, it’s really just manners. I love it when people share my work, I really do. It is an absolute privilege. However when it is left uncredited or worse still, recreated and someone else has stuck their brand on it (yes, this has happened! and polite requests to add credit were ignored 🙁 ) it disconnects me from valuable feedback that I use to help better my craft.
Anyway, it is still extremely flattering to see my words travel so widely. And really, being read is more important than acclaim. Even if just one person appreciates your art, then that’s another strand to your rainbow!
I’m not anti-sharing, I’m really not. In fact I encourage. Just link a girl up, just sayin’! 🙂
Anyway, if you ever do want to share any of my poems, please do #hashtag or @at me @msmoem. You can find me on instagram, youtube, pinterest and facebook.
To sum up, sharing with credit = good, omitting or taking credit = bad.
And to end on a positive note…
Spread your wings and keep flying!
#OwnTheSky
In a funny way, the words themselves have done exactly what I wrote. Out there owning the sky all by themselves. That’s a thought to leave me with a smile.
You Make My World Brighter
You make my world brighter.
You make my heart leap.
You make my tummy tingle.
You make me love deep.
You make my soul sparkle.
You make my toes curl.
You make my cheeks smile.
I made you my world.
You Make My World Brighter is a short poem by Ms Moem.

Happy To Be Us | Wedding Poem
Happy To Be Us
Today, as we both say I do
I give of me what I ask of you.
I promise to always do my bit
To secure our loving partnership.
As days are spent and years pass by
I promise I will always try.
I’ll never disregard your thoughts.
I’ll always give you my support.
I hope we’ll always feel connected
Heard and valued, loved and respected.
May we remain an equal pair.
May we both always genuinely care.
So, as we go forward, united as one
May we be content, optimistic & strong.
May we know compromise, commitment & trust
And may we be forever happy to be us.

Family Is For Life | A Rhyming Poem
Family Is For Life
In life, there are few constants.
We face the ebb and flow.
Situations happen.
People come and go.
But when you count your blessings
You’ll see, in joy and strife,
One thing you can rely on;
Family is for life!
© Family Is For Life is a short rhyming poem by English Poet Ms Moem.
A Simple Truth | Poem
A Simple Truth
How do you love a person
Who’s no longer there to love?
How do you bear the pain
When you’ve already borne enough?
How do you remember day
When you only live at night?
How do you escape their shadow
When you no longer see their light?
How do you keep on swimming
When you struggle just to float?
How do you keep on sailing
When the storm upturns your boat?
How do you keep breathing?
How do you get through?
It’s frustratingly simple but
Somehow, you just do.
A Simple Truth is a short poem by Ms Moem.
Am I Normal?
Am I Normal?
When asking if you’re normal
The one thing you ought to know
Is all of us are struggling;
Some just never let it show.
Am I Normal is a short 4 line poem by Ms Moem.
