Discarded

Dear E,

Your poem has a resonance I think we can all relate to at one time or another. Seems trudging through another day softens some days but others…not so much. Cheers to those better days. H🌷

Thanks H.

There has been a thread of abandonment throughout my life and tragedies that have shaped who I am. These past few years have been particularly difficult. Perhaps I'm just going through a rough patch? All I want is peace and contentment and maybe I will start to enjoy life again.

Thanks for your comments.

This is powerful and I can certainly relate. 'Wasted' is an excellent word choice and has so many connotations here.  I've just posted a poem about emotions locked inside a box too!  It's a great analogy.  Further punctuation would enhance.

Thanks for reading. I have a tendency to lock my feelings away and put on a fake smile. Probably not the best thing to do.

I think many of us suffer from abandonment issues, which can easily turn to apathy before we know it.

Eventually, you’ll come to the realisation that it’s not sustainable to bury things deep within as it becomes an unnecessary burden, too heavy to carry !

Hope you find peace, and start exploring ways in which to release those burdens…🙏

That's definitely part of the problem. I am haunted by the past and I've tried to bury my feelings, but these things tend to bubble to the surface, especially in dreams.

Thanks for your insightful comments.
