Gaslighting Poem by Naba Arif
Gaslighting
I have seen it play before
I welcomed it but was unprepared
All these emotions feel so familiar
They misuse my sense of responsibility
It is starting to weigh heavy on me
Cycle of blame playing again
You create guilt for not feeling grateful
For the privilege I never asked

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
The notion of a joke turns less funny with the number of times repeated is aspirational for the not so good feeling, but sometimes repetition doesn't lessen the pain
