On My Own I am leaving on an empty ship Must not stay, must not slip Don’t turn around to look back here Move on forward, that is clear When I’ve gone no one will know The tears that I refuse to show People here will have forgot All the things I never got Being free is no big thing There is no reason I should sing Because they’ll be no one near To see me shed the biggest tear On my own I’ll surely be What’s that got to do with free So I’ll go away from here From the people I hold dear ##poetsin #poetry

Nothing I want to tell you nothing In my #life you are nothing In my heart you mean nothing You give me nothing So please leave me alone ##poetsin

Labeling Now I come to think about it, having been in one system or another for over thirty years, I can't think of an occasion, either positive or negative, when I have experienced labeling. Whether I have just been lucky or never subjected to anything, or, much more likely, it's just gone straight over my head and I haven't been aware of it. Either way, it means it has never caused me any distress, which is fine by me. I do believe you don't label yourself, it's other people, and what other people think is really nothing to do with me. ##poetsin

Indecision Happy, sad, or in between Take your pick and then be seen Something helpful or maybe not Start today, but oh, with what? Some are good things, they're okay But usually bad cuz that's the lay Down the murky road you go Now the world goes so slow Coming back looks so hard So I will not sign on the card ##poetsin

Trapped I'm in a box The door is locked I have no freedom I'm not a real person The door is opened The gate is not I have no freedom I'm not a real person The gate is opened But the walls are still there I have no freedom I'm not a real person I have no rights I have no feelings I have no thoughts I have no emotions I'm second class Lowest of the low I should not care I'm not a real person ##poetsin #poetry
