One Poem Only is a daily poetry podcast offering a quiet moment with a single poem—read aloud, without analysis or noise. Same Fire Diana Johar When things were beautiful,you stood in my corner—calling me strong, brave,everything you admired.But beauty dims.And now you say I’ve got out of hand,call me crazy,as if this same firewasn’t the reasonyou loved me once.So go—find another love,meek and gentle.Tell yourselfyou’ve done the right thing.While I go on burning—fierce,unapologetic,like the wayI onceloved you.More from Diana Johar ↓@wordsbydianajohar on InstagramSupport + Stay Connected to OPOIf you’d like to support the show, Substack and Patreon members receive a copy of my book, For My Daughter, along with episodes from the audiobook.Poetry slows us down.
