Reliance

02/02/2021 - Poem a Day Compilation



I don’t like reliance.

The dawning dread

Of people placing their trust

Upon my wee, small head.



The expectation placed

At my feet

That I will live up to

The task at hand.



I don’t like reliance.

The need to include

Other people in my plans

Because I lack something.



I like to do things

My own way

In my own time

Without compromise.



I don’t like reliance.

But I accept it

And live with it

Because I have to.

Trust Issues

03/08/2020 -  Poem a Day Compilation



Trust is an issue for me.

I don’t trust anyone.

I know that people tell my secrets

So I don’t have secrets anymore.

I create a reality for myself

That I am happy to share to all

And it is nothing I worry about

Being disseminated

To the general public at any time

Because anything I tell you today

I’ll probably shout to the world tomorrow.
