Daily prompt: what bothers you?

What bothers you and why?

The best way for me to express this was through poetry.

So here we go.


The world’s not inclusive

Yet Social media is too perfect

Life isn’t really like that

This bothers me.


Mental health stigma

All our private battles

Too many selfish expectations

This bothers me.


Far too quick to judge

Negative assumptions

What business is it of yours?

This bothers me.


Planning for the future

Rising cost of living

Soaring interest rates

This bothers me


Time keeps marching past

Life is far too short

So much still to do

This bothers me.
