Bubbles

By jfarrell

I’m not sad,

It just feels like I am;

I’m not happy,

It just feels like I am;

I’m not…

And we can all see where this is headed.

Maybe

The bubbles we live in,

Make us feel

What we feel.

20 years in therapy,

All my time spent with people

Telling me I’m ill;

All my time spent with people

Who are ill.

Maybe,

My bubble is the thing that makes me ill.

Maybe,

If my bubble had more of the real world,

Real people;

Real feelings;

Maybe,

My bubble could help me

Want to be a better person.
