Oppressive Environments

𝑹𝒐𝑩𝑰𝑵 🪐 Poem April 12, 2020April 12, 2020 1 Minute

I feel fundamentally persecuted,
With people around me,
I don’t feel safe,
Not free to move around,

But it is no wonder,
After family experiences,
And the troubles of sharing houses,
With people messy and selfish;

Those times I lived alone,
I can’t even tell you,
When I wasn’t so isolated, depressed and unmotivated,

I was able to breathe,
Relax and be me,

Be me, to such…
An unimaginable extent.

500th poem,
What a nice surprise!

Just as a car, went exploding past,
And I was filled again, immediately,
With agitation and fear 😉.

I write poems which are mental health-themed, creative or humourous :). Within mental health I write a lot about: ADHD, OCD, anxiety, autism, emotional trauma— usually with an optimistic slant. My goals for my blog are to give myself a therapeutic, creative outlet whilst also being able to connect with and relate to other people. View all posts by 𝑹𝒐𝑩𝑰𝑵 🪐

  Thanks a lot Margie! I’m so glad you found my blog too, and glad to be able to read your poems, they are rare but awesome gifts!
  
  I’m feeling a lot better now in the house, I’m really staying on top of the cleaning and it’s not getting much dirtier in-between at the moment, so that’s having a big lightening effect on my mood. It’s of course still wrong that I have to do all the cleaning, but all I can do is be the change I want to see! 🤷‍♂️
