Societal Bonds

Societal Bonds

A Poem by Wonderland Asylum

Pressure.

Pressure in my mind.

Pressure.

Reasons to keep acts kind.

Pressure.

Expectations to live up to.

Pressure.

Social Acceptance feels like an ill-fit shoe

Pressure.

Social rejection is far too common

Pressure.

Unique people with loud gossip

Pressure.

Resist urges to lead a rebellion

Pressure.

Exalt yourself, your inner rebel, and set yourself free.

Usually I'm not a big fan of so much repetition, but in this case, it works. It's like the dreadful drumbeat of expectations, which conjures up the memories of so many of your well-chosen sources for such pressure, which builds as your message goes on. I hope you & people of your generation can make this progression -- away from being obedient & toward being free -- sooner than I did! Nicely inspiring (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Pressure, creates and destroys depending on the items mixed together. You have captured that notion.

I love the meaning behind the title: Societal Bonds. It makes me want to read more. The way you kept saying pressure, giving light to the fact that people are always judging or criticizing. Very good job done here.

About
Alternative, shy, loves music. I typically keep to myself, and am not very expressive. But when I write, it's like I'm some place else. I've been gone for a while, and I'm working on getting back.. more..
