What are You Made of?

Mia Winhertt

Let me ask you,
If I may,
If you can take it,
What are you made of?

Not the scientific answer,
Not the philosophic dream,
But at your very core,
What are you made of?

Not what Mommy said,
Not what Daddy trained,
But what was always there,
What are you made of?

Not who circumstances molded,
Not who people speculated,
But who you know best,
What are you made of?

Agreed it’s a difficult life,
Agreed it’s an unfair game,
But tell me honestly,
What are you made of?

If you don’t know,
If you want to,
Ask me and I’ll tell you
What are you made of.

Everything that makes me is
Everything that makes you,
Although different, nevertheless same.
That’s what you are made of.

All body, mind, soul,
All emotions whole,
A reflection of me in you,
That’s what you are made of.

  3. This is so precious, what it brings to my mind is that those of us who struggle with self-love should recognise our connectedness and shared humanity with others, and see that the love we believe they deserve is also ours by right. Thank you for this!

  7. Yes, agree that all made up of the same thing, the hardware part is same for all, its only the software in us that creates the difference.. LoL And sometimes, the virus in one makes him a demon…. Thanks.

  12. I love your work Mia and because of that I’d love you to consider amending your title. For as long as you affirm you’re struggling life will be a struggle. So perhaps ponder working with e.g. creativity the struggle, or writing through struggle, embracing the struggles of writing, et al., you will know deep within if or when it’s time to give way to the struggle and glow both inwardly and outwardly.

    NB apologies in advance if this advice feels as if (a) it was never sort and (b) is unwelcome. For; that was my intention, either way enough your creative struggles 🙏

    1. Firstly, thank you so much for appreciating my work, Fin! 🙂
      Secondly, it’s rather sweet of you to have taken time out to think for alternate titles for me. And I thank you for it. 🤗 It just shows that you are someone who cares enough to wish the best for anyone or anything that moves you. So no need to apologise.
      Do visit my “About” page to know why I gave my blog this title. It’s something I owe myself. So I’ll be sticking with it as of now, till I become “published.” 🙂

      1. Dear Soul I get that, so simply ponder this not “till I become published” you’re already published so internally awaken each morning with the thought and sense of gratitude “wow I’m a published author thank you” and before you go to sleep say “I’m so grateful to be a published author thank you” thereafter the universe will truly know what to bring forward because you’re effectively stating what is. In the interim be well published author 🙏

      3. Wonderful that’s a profound metanoia Mia great soul and award winning published author. For we all of us are what we think so think love and think big for you are exponential potential coming to know who you truly are and what you’re truly worth.🙏

        Now I will dissolve and allow the wonders of the universe to unfold. Nevertheless in the moment of true and pure realisation take a breath, raise a smile and say a little pray in joy for the weary old man who took the time to inspire you to know that you’re so much greater than you could ever at this moment know.

        It’s all energy all of it work in progress embracing the golden rule. Be well always dear soul 🙏
