Trapped

Caring dove


Notice of absence from Caring dove
Sometimes your soul feels sad and your mind feels tired .. not a good day today

Sometimes it feels like  I’m like that caterpillar 

hiding in the grass 

tired of the same 

tired of wishing for more change 

wandering 

why is it taking so long 

why am I stuck in the grass still 

lacking in that more confidence 

that some others take for granted 

wandering why more of the experiences 

go to those who have become 

confident butterflies 

 

because I thought

caterpillars deserve more too

    That ‘s an unpleasant feeling to experience Caring dove. Butterflies are lovely but I also think they are fragile. Confidence is gift. All creatures deserve to be valued. A sad poem to read. I hope you have a better day today.

      Thankyou Cassie )) appreciate the kind words . Sometimes I get a bit down .. my dissociation can affect my confidence sometimes .. and yeah sometimes it does feel like the confident ones get more of the different experiences .

      I guess life can be difficult sometimes

      Nice and the implication is that metamorphosis will come. A heartfelt write that many can identify with

        Thankyou ) I think sometimes we can feel ‘ small ‘ and trapped in ourselves / or even in life .. as if we can’t always go out there do what we want ( because we lack the confidence etc

          Butterflies will never be without caterpillars...but do all caterpillars get to be butterflies? This poems is profoundly sad, raw, and honest. Wonderfully expressive, my friend. Yes, caterpillars deserve more. Sorry you are feeling this way. ❤️‍🩹🤗
