Isolation

Isolation

written by: Stephen Ferrett

A place where I feel safe, a place I feel scared, a place of near perfection and yet a place of distressed isolation

My mind
Days where I can escape this maddening world, feel the warmth, solace, and safety of my soul

Days where I am dragged into darkness, no escaping personal isolation, surrounded by the unknown

My Mind
I flip a coin
It lands heads, open, free, embracing, I’ll let you in, welcome one and all
It lands tails,

Closed, imprisoned, rejection, social isolation, stay away, leave me alone
I find places where the coin always lands on heads
The beach, the forest, my cottage, warmth of friends and my dearest

My journey, my search for cerebral peace, never ending
Flip the coin of my existence and pray, every day, it lands on heads.

Stephen has had a love of writing and poetry from an early age, influenced by his travels. Now he is focused on several key areas, mental health and bereavement, Scottish history and landscapes and social outcomes. He lives in a small town called Buckie in the Northeast of Scotland. He hopes one day to publish a poetry anthology charting his own mental health from its lowest point, through recovery on to living a happy and healthy lifestyle, in order to help other who maybe suffering in silence.
