Punished for your blindness
I’m an emotional person,
I wish I felt like I had a purpose here.
There’s always something going on with me,
Physically or mentally.
Whats wrong with me?
What is the point in preparing for war,
If I never receive what I’ve been fighting for?
I’ve always believed happiness is worth chasing,
But I’m starting to feel that I need replacing.
I’m so tired, but I’ve been trying my best.
I wish the world would stop so I could rest.
I’ve spent my life always spreading kindness,
I’ve been punished because your repressed memories turned into blindness.

Dear M,
The feelings of rejection, dejection and a pinch of hopelessness ring through in this write. The level of exhaustion trying to please others is overwhelming, to me. Once I stopped doing that it was amazing how much better I felt. Your poem has reminded me that I’m on the right track. Selfish? Maybe. But definitely a lot less sadness. As always, you’re poems have such an excellent way of reaching everyone so we don’t feel so alone. H🌷
