Connections and Disconnect
Here are a few of my favorite poems, I wrote this year about this subject
Here are a few of my favorite poems I wrote this year about feelings of disconnect and connection. I’ve had these feelings, and I know I’m not alone
This first one “Floating in” I wrote as I felt like an observer at times floating into many places (including online in early November) and deciding if I should stay or not. Sometimes what once served us does not anymore and it’s time to move on. There are times you check back later and see if the dust has settled.
So much disconnect in this world, especially in the past few years. Prejudices and different ideas can cause a wedge between us as humans. It’s heart breaking. So, I wrote this
Who to trust? That’s what this is about. Who is good, who is bad? You can call it splitting. You can also call it life. People we know can let us down and sometimes the tables can become turned on us.
Ever want to escape in your mind during a tough time? Enough said
Do we meet people by chance? Is it random or something more?
Searching for validation to fill emptiness. Guilty. It’s so easy to scroll for those dopamine hits
My latest poem. I’ve checked out in some ways these past few years, and then there was comfort in that. The comfort can cause more loneliness though. It isn’t easy “getting back into the world” after avoiding in person human connections. I am trying though. Baby steps.
Thank you all so much for reading and commenting during these past few months.
Happy New Year!
