Bubble

Poem by Marie Duffy, read at the Tough Times launch.

Article by : SpunOut.ie

I am trapped inside this bubble,
Fighting to get out
So tired of this tension
I want to leave it all behind
Make a sweet escape.

From this world of despair, pain and hate
I cope with it all,
In my own destructive way
People they judge
I' m not normal
But who are they to say.

Smiling in your dark suit
You lean back in your chair,
Always asking questions,
Taking notes.
Acting like you care.
 
But are you really listening?
Are you even aware
Do you really understand?
Do you really care?
 
A problem shared is a problem halved
Something they always say
I found the courage
To reach out
Now I wake looking forward to each day
