Belonging
We are all social Beings.
We need.
We exist within a social interaction.
We depend on.
It is all part of who we are and how we exist.
We all need to know
That there is a place for each of us to feel connection in
It is the six sense of belonging
It is not superficial
It is real
We place great importance on relationship.
We talk about it as
loving
Sharing
Feeling
Being.
Healing
It is woven in through our hearts
As feelings that are reciprocal.
it is akin to our brain
Which when optimum
Produces balance and harmony
Belonging is peaceful
It heals
It consolidates
It makes us equal and in a group we maintain a continuum of equilibrium
Filled by
importance
Significance
Validity
Nurture
Care
Love
A journey felt
I do not feel a sense of belonging to anyone
I feel disconnected
I am outcast
And I have spent a lifetime trying to work out how to belong
What is wrong with me
And why I don't matter
Maybe I was born wrong
A Genetic disposition
Maybe in utero I was meant to be washed away
A natural rejection - physiologically
And I wasn't
Or maybe it was my family that pushed us away from
our herd
Or flock
Not a bad thing really
It irradicates a bad gene
That would cause risk to a population
To societies discomfort
In my experiences of survival
I believe I was meant to die
I so wish I had
Nature versus Nurture
Nature and nurture
Environment and survival as a whole and experiences of social deprivation that is individually experienced, processed and unique
In broder social terms
Experiences that were a risk
to our sense of dignity
humanity
Preservation
From a societal perspective we will compromise and reject the minority
For the greater good of our survival
In a place where i have tried to fit in
I now accept that this is a path I don't know how to live
I feel lost
Sad
Alone
Dejected
Alien
Alienated
Disconnected
Unintegrated
I have no flock
No herd
No belonging
Just obligation
To exist for the comfort
Of the majority
I did not cause my life pain
And I worked hard for me to become different
To be accepted
To fit in
To give back
To live in harmony
Just like everyone else
With a purpose and the search of belonging
I failed
Just as much as I was failed
In me I thought we all deserved a place
And I was wrong
We have classed society
Creating a continuum of significance and importance
Power
Better than
More entitled
Opportunity
A class of entitlements
All of which have meaning
Significance
Comfort
Authority
To maintain that, we have to split
And be or be without
Neutrality is simply determined, medium is created
People are elevated
Others alienated
That protects what is
We as a species have separated us as a whole
Into groups, factions, labels and entitlements
Black and white
Either or
Equalibrium is altered
Through power
And it is maintained
By blaming
Shaming
Dishonoring
Pitying
Demonising
And from the bottom reversed
A symphony of power
That is reciprocal.
And Exclusive
Freud experienced period of professional exclusion
because he chose to be different and name things he saw - incest
He was quickly ridiculed, shamed, publically humiliated
And in his weakness to his flock he submitted and he denied what he once believed
Just so he could maintain his comfort
Lang, nsw premier in the depression
Chose to place dignity and humanity first
He stood out
And believed in the welfare of people
He observed human suffering
And in that he defied the powers of parliament
To place people first
He was stood down
In public shame and humiliation
For doing what was right
he did not submit
I don't have family
That safety net of compassion is not there
I am walking alone in this
And rather than resisting a label or definition
I just want it all to end
I am not resilient
I have struggled with this life
I have not adjusted
I have not found that personal strength to assimilate successfully
No
I have pleaded for recognition and care
And a place of belonging
In those that mattered
No matter the circumstances
No matter where i am positioned
my experience of social deprivation and need to belong has kept me boxed, labeled and excluded
I can't reconcile this
And like a mantra
I just hear the dissociated and fractured voies saying
This need so great
This need so empty
These feelings so overwhelming
I'm sad
I feel alone
My fight is resigned
I want to die.
