Lyric Canna Poet I do not know?

The Moon

I'm unhappy here
Sitting, being told what to do, who to be
I'm unhappy here
Opinions shoved down my throat
I'm unhappy here
Forced to act loving towards people I hate
Why is the moon so far away

I'm unhappy here
Sitting alone in my house filled with people
I'm unhappy here
Having to care, but not really there
I'm unhappy here
Spewing out lies, pretending I'm fine
Why is the moon so far away

I'm happy here
Being myself
I'm happy here
Alone without people
I'm happy here
No one to impress
Look, the world is so far away

Charmaine Chircop October 16, 2020 at 8:00 AM I can relate to this poem at times.I abhore loneliness,but embrace the moments on my own,happy in my own solitude. Bet this poem describes someone whose with the wrong crowd and in the wrong place. Loved loved it. Charmaine Chircop October 19, 2020 at 12:18 PM Very brave of you to move out. Lyric Canna October 16, 2020 at 1:07 PM I was raised in a very judging and emotionally abusive household. I wrote this poem while still living there, and have since moved out. Thank you for commenting

Silent One October 13, 2020 at 7:51 AM I can feel the sadness and angst in your poem... expressed emotively deeply.. Lyric Canna October 13, 2020 at 2:19 PM Thank you for reading my poem and taking the time to comment. I am happy to say that I have moved out of that house, and am doing much better.
