Like poison in the air...

About this poem

I am someone who is always afraid of too many changes at once. Sometimes it would be overwhelming for me to handle multiple changes happening simultaneously, and I prefer to take things one step at a time to ensure that I can adjust properly. I wrote this poem as a reflection of my thoughts and emotions toward these changes. From the changes in nature like global warming, more frequent wildfires, longer periods of drought in some regions, and an increase in the duration and intensity of tropical storms. The imbalance, as well as the societal changes that have occurred in recent times. The poem serves as an outlet for me to express my feelings and helps me cope with the stress that comes with adapting to new situations. It allows me to process my thoughts and emotions in a creative way. So I describe everything as poison, that hurts me, and take time to leave my system. more »
