How it can feel being in a relationship with an avoidant expressed through poetry.
Relationships are challenging whether it be with ourselves or with another person. I see poetry as an opportunity for creative expression. A safe way of getting thoughts and feelings out. I feel that this takes a weight off of me. I feel more clear. The expression in itself, it allows me to feel seen and heard. Seeing, hearing and acknowledging myself, I see this as a practice in self-empowerment. Learning, healing and growth one word at a time.
Back burner bottom tier reverse gear
Avoidant detachment closeness never near
Hurt unheard mislabeled loud and clear
Unwilling unable mindset Wow
Voiced needs twisted to greed
When really it’s just a heart
A heart that bleeds
Bleeds vulnerable needs
Broken connection tears they stream
Of a heart shut down
The end of a dream
