I should just add - that last poem - it wasn’t really a ‘cloak room’ as such, I wasn’t Little Lord fucking Fauntleroy - more a big cupboard in the hallway that housed coats - but that sounded a bit crap😂
Beautiful, and they captured much of what I feel from time to time too. My Mum suffered with depression that I suspect had a number of roots, she used to tell me that she would feel alone in a room of people, I understood her thought she didn't think I did. The 'Your Body' one particularly hit home for me x
Yes my ex-partner was not good for me, I finally realised in the end. I have an understanding of myself that I would never have had without that experience though.
Thanks. I am actually in quite a good mood so felt weird putting that out there last night but I’d written them over the last few weeks and believe that people should see all sides of someone. We’re not dancing monkeys are we?😂
this might be the greatest rhyming couplet I’ve seen in some time.
I don’t find these depressing even though they do speak to my sense of isolation. It’s gratifying to see you articulate it. I’m reminded of the songwriting of Difford & Tilbrook (Squeeze) and their sense of petulant melodrama (please don’t take that as a diss!) - being forced to be an adult, to have to navigate responsibilities, commitments and grown up, dissatisfying game-playing that erodes our sense of true connection.
Probably undiagnosed bio polar or whatever it is they call it these days, can’t remember but I don’t care because I want to feel. Would rather feel, even if it’s sadness sometimes.
Most of these I’ve saved over the last few weeks but I wrote that one tonight.
I appreciate your comments and ‘happy new year’ to you.🥂

Love a line from the first piece--the “look that darns souls”!

That one is about a horrible ex from many years ago. Nasty piece of work he was.

That’s the way to frame it, eh? Onwards and upwards xx
Yep otherwise we are giving them way to much of a ‘hold’ on us still ;) - we always push on and up xx
It’s a very uncertain & evil time we are living through. I, for one, am full of ups and downs. Far too many downs at the moment. Happy New Year.
Captured the times we live in perfectly..so well written👏
Thank you :)
Loved them.

Happy new year.
But everything seems fake, contrived
A replica of real
Since you made me an expert
In how my heart’s supposed to feel

I’m up and down like a yo-yo on steroids.😂

Cheers. Likewise. 🍻 . Julie, speaking as a psychiatric nurse, I can assure you that you’re way too productive to be considered mentally disordered!
