Distance

Caring dove

Sighing 

I wander why 

why I’m in a bubble 

distance within 

distance around 

distance 

 

like anything that can’t sense their essence 

that flower who doesn’t feel like the flower she is 

unable to sense the true nature within 

 

just felt is a emptiness 

wanting to sense herself 

but what’s felt is a gap a space 

somethings missing 

somethings wrong 

me and that sense of me 

 

I sense ‘ someone ‘ 

but it isn’t me

  • Comment from author about the poem: When we feel distanced from ourselves and things around us .. that feels like a lonely sad place to be Not always sensing me That’s sad Tried a walk today , with someone I live with . Managed to the top of the road, then turned around . It can be hard to feel so disconnected .. sometimes

      A difficult position to find yourself in dear Caring dove. You describe that emptiness so well. I found your final words both sad and moving. Take good care of yourself.

        It is difficult , yes .. and can be quite tiring to deal with . Tho today I managed to get to town .. even tho at first felt like an effort , I do try .. some days are more difficult than others . Thanks for your kindness

          I can't be you, of course, but not had any, or not much, experience of dissociation. Just getting out of the house may help though, if literally, only a few steps.

            Yeah just feeling disconnected , distant from yourself and things etc . It is difficult , yes .. or can be .
