Put-upon Independence

Put-upon Independence

A Poem by Diana

And it's fierce.
You try to take care
of what no one else did.

I don't know how to speak of it.
So I do not speak...much.
You tell me others would
if I let them.

But I don't believe
or I won't believe.
And I don't know much.
I've not seen much of that.

But, oh, does it burn.
It so burns fiercely...

Sounds like a personal dilemma of sorts that someone has entrusted to your keeping, I could go a few places with this one. Food for thought here, nicely pen'd.

My pleasure Diana.
Independence is so important but if two love each other or two got married then they have obligations to each other and they will lose alot of their personal freedoms and spaces so to speak. A marvelous poem...:)

Good loss or bad loss, I suppose that is the question. Thanks, Sami.

Not assuming this is personal, this piece is thought-provoking and makes one not only think but rethink... I like that in reads.

Thanks for the share.

Makes sense. Definitely personal, though. No doubts there.
sometimes it is just up to us, we create our own happiness..we take care of ourselves...

it is good to let others in, let others assist...but in the end...

we have to be strong ourselves...and "fierce" to deal with the "fierce" pains of life.

Mmm... "but in the end..." Yes, that.
Sometimes we have to allow others to help...being independent is not always wise. Those who have been through what you are going through can offer worthwhile advice. Not sure what specifically you are going through, but obviously it is not easy. I hope things calm down for you. Well written emotive words. Lydi**
