Written by Jacob Ibrag
The want to be
needed and need to want.
To be clothed with acceptance so
we can accept ourselves. A trap we set
before the fall. Loving another before
falling in love with ourselves.

Over the years Eyes + Words has turned into a wonderful budding family of over fifteen thousand people across all platforms. It’s surreal and humbling to know that the art of poetry and story is alive and thriving. That being said, I hope that the creation of the Eyes + Words Writers Group serves as a vehicle and launch pad to help and support writers and the aspiring ones to keep manifesting words that many out there are searching for everyday. So go on and contribute, lets elevate together. Everyone is encouraged to share their experiences with anything involving writing.
so important to love ourselves first… nicely written
