I felt every line of this poem. Although you penned it in 2022, it's unfortunate that it's still relevant today.

This is my favorite stanza:

"They want you to deal with

their insecurities and unrest.

They are tired, but they don’t want to let you rest.

They don’t know it yet.

But they have a grave issue.

They have no issues."

You won't believe - I was going to write that in the caption - that unfortunately, not much has changed since 2022 when I composed this.

Thank you for sharing and responding trE! Really appreciate it.

This stanza that you have quoted is most reflective of why this poem was composed, I was fed up of people, society and how its taken for granted that any unrest within you is someone else's fault but never yours.
