Deafened by definitions
About who we
Should be
Becoming blinded
By beliefs
We can't see
Consuming assumptions
Of society's strangers
Persistent peer pressure
Tries to
Rearrange us
But to yourself
You belong
You cannot
Be sold
There is
Nothing wrong
In breaking free
From the
Mold
Wrote my contribution to world mental health day two hours before it closes.What do you think?
Thanks Nigel You're kinda getting into Haiku I feel?
Keep alive
your true self
don't let
others take it
Thanks to Dom & Tom for the likes ?
Thanks for your kind words Keith. I've wrote this because today it's World Mental Health Day, and I feel that a lot of today's mental anguish is caused by not feeling that you can be true to yourself.
Ruth,
This is a poem which is close to my heart. Your words are wise and provide good advice.
Thank you for this
Keith
