Word for Day 9: Island
Word Theme: Rescue
#26W26D
This is a 26 day challenge byTokens of Expression and The Cliche Diaries . You can visit their blogs to check the rules.
My heart is an island
Inhospitable, uninhabitable
Alienated, disaffected.
Don’t harbour any notions of rescue.
Let it fester and die
In its estrangement.
An all too familiar feeling π

Ohhh! I hope it does not last long.
I should have attempted a cheerful post. π

I expect it will last as long as it takes. And no, always write the words that come to you.

Yes, always write what comes to your mind, no matter what. I love this poem.

Thank you so much. I usually do go by my instinct.
But if what I write reminds someone of adverse times then I feel I should rather write about happier things.

Oh bless you. You can never know what you touch in others though. I find that sometimes it helps others to know that they are not alone in their feelings. It can be verymisolating at times to have feelings/ experiences that you feel no one understands.

Great simile. Reminded me of “I Am A Rock” by Paul Simon.

Thank you. Now that you remind me it went something like…I am a rock, I am an island…
Thanks for the compliment.
