A little bit of humour for Thursday

01/08/2023

This afternoon I saw a regular client on zoom (because she’s moved away from Sheffield for her job and can’t see me face to face)
Sarah works from home now, and rarely leaves her house. Waking every morning to use her laptop in her bedroom, look at figures on a screen, and never actually see or talk to anyone. The longer she’s done this the harder its become to get though the door to the world outside. This is what Sarah went to uni to get a degree for..

I work with so many in her position, working for companies who closed offices in ‘Covid’ and never opening them again due of the ever increases cost.

Here’s Sarah’s poem which she’s permitted me to share - prowerful.

My cage is my home ~
My cage is my safety ~
My cage is inviting ~
My cage is a sanctuary ~
My cage is all I know ~

My cage is locked.

I am alone and know no different. I'm afraid.

My cage is a prison.

My cage is my downfall,
My cage is my deathbed,
My cage is my grave,
My cage is just that,
A cage.
