Pretence, semblance; 4

Languid, mental;

Brooding, pacing, rambling,

I’ve had enough of these lessons,

Spirit!

Safety,

Prudent, chary;

A/N : Everything is going to SH*TS, and I poured out all my emotions into this poem. First time trying this form. The first cinquain I’ve read was from Dharr. Shout out to you and thank you for writing yours so that I could have the confidence to attempt a cinquain — that really isn’t as good as yours but served as a way to vent — shh, just take the compliment! lol.

Anyways, I’ve had many days, where I feel everything and then absolutely nothing. Which is great sometimes, because then I don’t give a crap about anything that would usually hurt me — also meant that I am not emotionally available and that feels good for once. Not healthy, but… 🙈 thank you for being my therapist for this moment. Please do like, comment and subscribe, it’s free! ♥️🙏🏽🤗
