Two anxious birds.

Two anxious birds sitting on a tree.
Each wondering
“What’s wrong with me?”
“Why can’t I be like everybody?”
“Why can’t they understand me!”
Then anxiety sneaks in.
Although I discover no reason.
It is safer to love for a season!
Then love recedes into eternity.
For, in accepting responsibility,
One needs to see reality.
Accountability can be scary.
It’s not everyone’s cup of tea.
I don’t blame anybody.
It is lifelong learning.
To deal with self and vulnerability.
So, you and I will never be we!
As we are determined to be-
Two anxious birds,
Sitting troubled, on a tree.

This poem depicts power struggle in relationships and friendships, where the people involved sabotage the connection. The uninvestigated personal traumas can affect all people close to us especially who are emotionally connected to us.
