Sometimes

Caring dove


Notice of absence from Caring dove
Truth please
Can you stop lying please

Sometimes 

we wander 

and feel like 

their climbing more ladders 

their achieving more 

experiencing more 

and we’re left feeling a little like 

Were not trying enough 

getting far enough 

not always feeling good enough 

we wander , why 

we feel like we feel a little 

Behind in life 

in getting further 

experiencing the more of the new 

 

knowing how to be like some others 

we wander if we’re doing something wrong 

 

not trying enough ? Maybe .. 

and are they trying more 

not trying enough ? 
how much do I have to try .. 

 

left behind in life 

missing out on so much 

for some reason 

wandering why 

 

why do they know how to ‘ do’ life 

and I don’t .. 

 

maybe I’m not trying enough 

 

but life’s not a ‘ test ‘ 

and shouldn’t be hard

    Self blame is often used as a justification for where we are Inequality is not always due to individual lack of effort and this poem comes down hard. A lovely write that inspires strong feelings

      Thankyou)) I think sometimes we can wander if we’re helping ourselves enough .. or have doubts about ourselves . I think maybe that comes from insecure and not always feeling good enough .. I’m not sure .

      We can’t be perfect and guess shouldn’t be critical towards ourselves but i guess sometimes we can feel that way ..

      Having dissociation ( mental health problems ) makes things feel a little difficult sometimes , anyway

      And some people have things easier / find things easier

      Thankyou very much

        We ‘ should ‘ be but it doesn’t always happen that way

        And some people find it easier

        A heartfelt write of feeling they are responsible for there current feelings and situation through lack of effort, a strong write, hoping you have a good weekend

        • Caring dove

          Yeah well it isn’t my fault but sometimes feels I’m not getting far enough . But nobody’s perfect and nobody’s above anybody else ..

          It isn’t just the really confident ones that deserve it all

          Thanks so much for the kind words
