"Gaslight"—A Poem by Me

Oklahoma
2025/4/1 Edited to

... Read moreThe poem 'Gaslight' navigates the intricate concept of reality as experienced by the individual. It poses profound questions about self-identity and the universality of thoughts, suggesting that every thought could potentially create its own reality. The lines reflect a struggle with internal dialogues that question the authenticity of existence and self-worth. As readers engage with the poem, they may find themselves contemplating their own definitions of 'real' against the backdrop of societal expectations and personal experiences. This blend of introspective musings and existential inquiries leads to a deeper understanding of cognitive frameworks and the ontological debates inherent in creative writing. Furthermore, poetry can serve as a therapeutic outlet, allowing writers and readers alike to unpack complex emotions like intrusive thoughts and feelings of inadequacy. Through sharing such poignant reflections in communities like #poetryfoundation or #creativewriting, authors can connect with others navigating similar journeys of self-discovery and expression. Ultimately, 'Gaslight' encapsulates a moment of vulnerability, challenging readers to confront their truths while recognizing the multifaceted nature of human perception.

Come out: And it was there in your arms, my head on your shoulder I felt safe enough to say those words That moment of vulnerability where I knew you would love me either way, But I finally said the words I was so scared to say, Admitting not only to myself, but to you The truth And i

I love you Three words. Always used fleetingly But still ring true when echoed in the hallway as you leave. I love you But will you stay? Others haven’t. He didn’t. But will you? Even after peering through the curtain And seeing what lies behind the many masks I wear for others Al

“The truths in his words” ~ a poem written by me
In the shadows of his whispers, I lived and lost my way, The truths in his words twisted, led my heart astray. Promises like petals, soft and sweet they fell, But beneath the fragrant lies, there lurked a silent hell. He painted skies with colors, only he could see, Told me I was broken, and

Narcissists Use Projection to Gaslight You.
Narcissists and people with narcissistic tendencies use projection. Projection is used to avoid one's own weaknesses, shortcomings, and negative qualities and put the responsibilities on someone else. #narcissist #narcissism #projection #gaslight #manipulation
