Undiscovered

Undiscovered by Sophie, pen on paper

"I wrote this poem to try and express how I feel living with a controlling partner. They have OCD and have had ever since I have known them. It didn’t seem too bad at first. They are able to direct me into living how they want me to live as otherwise I get told off and shouted at. It is quite scary – I don’t recommend it as a condition."

A polychromatic setting
Extinguishes the set
Of complexity within
Vitality of self
Undiscovered.

Fathomed thoughts
And unseen pathways
Controlled and bordered
Set daily
And over years.

I know
No longer
How freedom feels
Tied to time
Actions and pretence.


Undiscovered.
