Let down and hanging around

Anonymous

Summary:

Some time back, I created an animation with the song Let Down by Radiohead as background music. The animation explores the feelings of a girl under an overprotective/restrictive guardian, and how she realises that no one is coming to save her. I have written a free verse poem to complement that animation. If these themes interest you, have a look.

Work Text:

Brought up caged
in the guise of being loved;
Intense feelings
always wind up shoved

Asking for help
makes you feel indebted;
Even when you are helpless
to be self-sustained

This makes one
an absurd being;
With needing isolation,
but highly depending

Then how will the cycle break?
if you are still waiting;
For the breeze to come,
and get you flying
