Returning Again And Again

Anxiety, Poem, Thoughts 1 Minute

I continue to find safety and refuge in my writing,
And right when it’s feeling at its most indirected and purposeless,
It finds its cozy use again;

Right when I am turning most inward,
And dwelling again on the on-going struggles,
Returning to repetitive compulsions,
And the headaches and isolation which that causes,

That’s when writing and creativity are a shining light again,
And often at its most rewarding.

I wasn’t going to post something today,
Since I’ve been busy chasing ancestry,
I’m working on a little project, a kinda flight of fancy!

But then I realised…
I’ve written every day since the 8th of January,
So I looked in my drafts and found this poem,
And I wonder if…they would’ve been proud of me?

I write poems which are mental health-themed, creative or humourous :). Within mental health I write a lot about: ADHD, OCD, anxiety, autism, emotional traumaβ€” 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.

  3. So relatable Robin!
    This happens to me so many times, when I feel like my writing is becoming aimless and it’s losing its purpose, it becomes comfortable yet again somehow.

    Lovely piece! πŸ’œ
