I wrote this this the other day after a particularly trying week. I have learned so much about how and when my anxieties are triggered, but of course like everything in life that I want to achieve, it requires practice. There can be some days where I freak out because I feel like I have forgotten everything I have learned and have been practicing. I have a very busy mind, I am also a Creative. And the two can go well or sometimes overwhelm me. So here is a poem I wrote because allowed myself to feel what I was experiencing this week and that rises up often in my everyday life. ps. I don't know if you know much about poems Dear Reader, but they are usually quite metaphoric ; P. Feeling like a trapped bird,
Misunderstood, feelings unheard. No matter how hard I try, I never seem to be able to fly. Everyone's around, everybody's here, I still fell alone, I still have fear. One day I would like to see, What it would feel like to be free. Give me a taste, give me a little more, I'll show you just how high I'll soar. If you can, please give me love, Love pure and patient, just like a dove. I will try and learn from you, Teach me how, teach me what to do. Please understand how I feel inside, Can make me want to escape, make me want to hide. When I'm feeling tired and weak, I'll have to remember, remember to speak. And when I'm feeling happy or over the moon, I'll have to remember to tell you that too. How can you give what you haven't been taught, That's the beginning, how battles are fought. I'll try telling you what I need, and what I crave, I'll try and be honest, I'll try and be brave. How much longer though will I have to try, For this bird to feel how it feels to fly. *Lucy Tranter-Wissemann September 2017*
