Others do the Othering
other talk about children
without realising –
others cannot
others do not know
the inner thoughts –
and turmoils of a life
others do the othering
and others feel the strife
others talk about anxiety
as you anxiously wait –
coping mechanisms
are requisitions upon your singular fate
others talk without realising
you are struggling –
never knowing
when it will be just fine
other do the othering
whilst others struggle with their lines
