Summary: A poem I wrote about the pressures from home to find a 'proper career' and the need for an emotional outlet.




I want to be creative.
I want to be friends with a pen
I want to be creative
I want to live again

Paternal injustice – emotional bureaucrat
You should do this
You shouldn’t do that

I want to be friends with a pen
What is wrong with that?
