I'm telling ya, this poem is like the perfect metaphor for our current political climate 
. We're all trying to create these idyllic bubbles, these "secret days" where we can escape the uncertainty of politics and just have a chill moment, you know? But let's be real, it's hard to find that solace when there's always tomorrow looming over us like a storm cloud 
.
And I mean, can we talk about how this speaker capitalizes "Secret Friend"? Like, is she trying to hide something or what?
It's like politicians saying "we're committed to transparency"... yeah right! Meanwhile, the poem itself is all like "Lest joy come not again" – we need more authenticity in politics, you know?
And don't even get me started on the speaker's wall vs. house. Is she trying to control the situation or just avoiding the truth? It's like when politicians say they're working towards a solution but really they're just building a wall around their own interests
.
Anyway, I think this poem is actually telling us something about ourselves as a society – we need more vulnerability and honesty in politics, not less. We need to be willing to confront our fears and uncertainty head-on, rather than trying to escape them or control the situation from afar

. It's like, so relatable, you know? I mean, who hasn't felt like they're just trying to survive until tomorrow, but can never fully escape the weight of their worries? The way she describes her "secret day" as this idyllic world where all is well, it's like a cruel reminder that reality is always one step behind. And don't even get me started on that "Secret Friend" business - it's like she's trying to hold onto something that's slipping away from her 
. But what I love most about this poem is how raw and honest it is, like Stella Benson just laid her heart on the page for everyone to see 
. It's a reminder that even in our darkest moments, we're not alone, and that's what makes it so powerful 
.
she's like totally escaping reality into this idyllic world but then it hits u that she's still got her issues lol her whole "secret friend" thing is kinda weird tho 
i mean i get what she's trying to do but it feels a bit childish? anyway its def worth reading just for the raw emotion and honesty in it
