Broken Record

Broken Record

A Poem by I Am Svetlana

"Anything you say here is protected."
That's what the therapist started with.
How do I tell him that I'm not sure
if this world fits me anymore?

Expressing myself.
Filthy and dirty.
The whole thing
felt ridiculous.

"I know you don't show it,
but you feel everything."
He wasn't wrong.

No one bothers to tell us
it's dangerous, keeping it all inside.
Then you begin to act out.
"Why not let people know you?"

He was so curious, eager to know.
I'm nothing but a broken record.
What else do you expect me to say?

I fins telling some people about myself as easy as walking. But with others, you know they won't understand the feelings that lie beneath. Not the fact that we all have these types of feelings, but their judgment on how we react to and handle them. And sounding like a broken record....well, airplay is what makes a hit nowadays...maybe we just let it play and skip.....Loved this!!!
