Detached

A Poem

Courtesy of Bring a Trailer

I know you think it odd that I can remain this way detached from the norm and bathed in solace inside of my little world with my big kids and a warm sport to call home but the truth is that you question me because you question you and it’s not my fault that I am content and you are hell-bent on connection, when it’s just a reflection, of you

Detached is how I stay sane in a world tumbling down a hillside and into a ravine and detached is not disconnected and that’s where you get lost because all I am is really disengaged from the madness and the piles of sadness but also disengaged is not oblivious as this is a conscious choice to decorate my bubble with the things that make me happy

Think of me in a Volkswagen Thing unfastened seat belt wind in my hair driving the coastline not a care in the world because this is what detached looks like in my mind in my world in my bubble
