Triolet 🍀22 – Madness

We run in circles… Triolet 🍀22 – Madness

Betrayal

I admired you,Once upon a time.I held you up on a pedestal,Publicly said so.It comes up in my memories on socials,And I think how could I be so blind,So naive.I lay myself bare,Exposed my trauma,And yet you still choose to break me apart.Make fun of my poetry, my art.Ridicule my fibre, my being.What makes me…

Without.

There are days when my mind is out of balance.When dark thoughts creep closer and closer.When I try my best to ignore and deny them,But my heart feels heavy, weighted down.Positivity and gratitude are temporary sticking plasters.They may give shallow relief,Yet do not heal the root cause.Days like these are common,Assaulting the mind,Blurring thoughts with…

My Failure

Trigger Warning. Dark thoughts My heart aches,For all my mistakes,For all the times I let you down.I tried so hard,Standing by your side.But I am simply flawed.No matter what I have done.My efforts will never be enough.Still, I have love in my heart,Even when times are tough.

eXtra Sized

No one wants to be a 5xl,When finding your size.You think what the hell!Are these sizes taylered to make you feel bad?Like you’re absolutely abnormal,Massively overweight and sad. On one site, I’m a 14,Another an 18.Then there’s sites where xls,Are incredibly soul destroying and mean? On one site in the men’s bit,I’m simply a large.Yet…

Disconnected

Trigger Warning.  Self worth, depression. Sometimes, I feel disconnected,Far away from everyone.Like they have a secret circle,Meeting in an exclusive club. Bounds can seem so sacred,Like communicating in code.From the outside, looking in,Can feel so lonely and cold. Relationships are complicated.We’re all in our bubble of life.We don’t mean to neglect anyone,But living is full…

Father Times

Write about a few of your favorite family traditions. When we were growing up, we had Father Times. We’d leave a shoe outside our bedroom doors on New Year’s Eve. Then we’d get a pound coin or some sweets. I always used to get a book. Sometimes those big story books, like they had at…

Rachel’s Story. Rising Again

Trigger Warning.  Dislocations. Mental wellbeing.  Chronic illness Rachel’s Story. Rising Again My body is my prison.A prison that dislocates,breaks, and makes me frown.I used to dance and be free,But things quickly turned upside down. I fight to stay strong.Using the ability part of my disabilities.I partake in my own way.My chair is a way to…

Should Be

Trigger Warning. Depression I should be the Mum that’s up early.Making meals for everyone.I should have the house perfectly polished.While still having energy for having fun. I should be the wife that cooks healthy meals,For her diabetic husband everyday.That creates a meal and menu .Looking after his health in every way. I should be daughter…
