Continue to live on as you like.
It's like breathing. Breathing which keeps you alive, and when you inhale deeply you feel alive, you feel strong, like you can hold on for so long you can die old holding your breath. You close your lips, figuratively close your nostrils and you wait, you hold it, you stand still waiting with your cheeks puffed out, looking ridiculous to boot. For a moment it's peaceful, things are quiet as you wait without air. But then your face turns red and frustration begins as you continue waiting. You try harder to hold it, to keep it just a little longer, you keep waiting, trying to hold on, to keep waiting but you know you can't. You know you can only hold on so long and your time is almost up. Your chest gives in and your lungs hurt. You feel like a rock sits on you to squish all the air out. Your arms are week, your knees begin to shake, tears push out from your eyes like diamonds but you keep holding on and fighting it all. You shake your head telling yourself you won't give in and up, you can't because you need it. But then your throat heaves, hoe, heaves hoe, and suddenly your down on the floor out cold. Your lids are like blankets, easily moved in whatever position you're thrown in by a seizure. You stop, frozen on the floor, limp as a sack doll, and your heart stops. You can hear it, pure silence as everyone else waits for you to live again. And there you go, breathing once more until you see it and decide to hold your breath again.
That is what it's like when you wait for love, that is what it's like to be heartbroken, and that is what it's like to live after a broken heart.
Here it comes again. My "deception" has brought on another flood of guilt. I don't feel like I deserve to feel good, to do things that should make me feel good. Maybe that explains it? Why I've practically stomped all over the grave and packed in the dirt on top of this pampering. It's a fish bone in the throat for some, a couple of doubts throughout our minds thrown in with cowardice. I say stop it all but it's like resisting the experience of life. It all comes down to being selfish or going with it. I don't feel good doing anything. Sometimes theres a hint, a moment where I've truly entranced myself into dealing with it but shortly it comes back.
(Like sleep, I'll fall into slumber, awake to fall asleep again, and awake with frustration in my lack of success only to end with a headache.)
Now my only question is how to keep it at a level that won't leave me covered in salt.
My face, still very swollen from sleep, is the epitome of an unwilled longing. Day in and day out my eyelids stress downward for sleep, my arms lay anywhere cradling my head and my legs feel nonexistent unless curled into me. I crave sleep like someone might crave a stall to hide in after embarrassment. I am a sleep addict. Sleep to me is the candy to my tongue. It is the water on my lips. It is the lover to my eyes. Sleep is my closing and my opening to every day and sleep is how I get through. Sleep cures my sicknesses and helps me to breathe again in traumatic events. I now.. I am exhausted.... and will.....
....
sleep.
Flip flop. Flip flop. It was nice to feel more important. I feel cheated, ironically. Back and forth, another tug of war with opposite thinkers. Tight clothes brings men, they say, but why would I want to suffocate myself only to be suffocated more? I want a comfortable man to myself. A fresh but warm silk love. It's gone now, bringing it all back down to the wet sand. All I can think is imagery. A cloud of sediment rises up in the water as I drown and then begins to settle, just like in snow globes. I was a ship, I was a woman, but I've been brought back down to unfound treasure.
It's lonesome at the bottom of the sea.
It's a question. Whenever I ask myself whats wrong I answer it but today my answer was "I want to go home". I was standing in my kitchen asking myself that question, asking myself what was wrong and why I was feeling the way I was. Then I looked down at the box of batteries in my hand and thought of my step dad. I thought of how he'd been there since I was 2 and how so suddenly he left my life at 14. I thought about why he left and where I was now, why I hadn't talked to him more about it.
Even now as I walk out of my room and practically become crippled with pain I consider if I should talk to him or not. So many people in my life influence the way I think and act and never have I found a man who obeyed the law or was honest in his actions.
After going downstairs and hiding my face away from my friends and into the crest of my mothers neck I've lost what I wanted to truly say. The urge to bawl still lingers but as my friends remain in my room I keep my throat shut tight and my eyes hidden with the back of my head.
It's always a competition, a game to one-up but not as fun as Mario. A manner-less, selfish game to make the other down, down the other, it's life. To get money, to get power, credits, and to get a reputation that proceeds what you actually are. Rudeness brings rudeness, but niceness brings shame. A life to live with an urge of guilt or a fall of shame, to your knees you go.
I went out for a bit, got distracted, and lost my mojo.
The intensity of things makes them easier to identify, correct. The intensity of colors. An intense, bright yellow is obviously yellow, the same goes for blue, red, magenta, macaroni and cheese, whatever. Is it the same for feelings? The more intense the easier to know what it is you are feeling? I like to think so. So there is an explanation for outrageous actions and pursuing an issue, to know. To identify the feeling! All a better reason to understand adrenaline junkies, to know. To get the fuel and to be the understander.
aghhh if my head didn't hurt, I'd be able to focus. Forget this.
Veronica wished me sweet dreams last night, how wrong to admit that I did not have one. It was terrifying, intense and infuriating.
It began in my room with my mom up here talking to me. My step dad enters and spots the plastic sword on my bookcase and goes to take it. "What're you doing?" I ask, no response. He walks out of my room with it, but I will not be ignored, nor have my things stolen. I follow him down the stairs and to the front living room where the Christmas tree was, it was still there in the dream. I shove him, hard, and he rolls and tumbles into the wall, I run after him. I begin pulling ornaments off the tree and throwing them at him hoping they'll shatter on his face but they don't, I am too weak. Somehow a pair of barber scissors ends up in my hand and I stab him in the chest and stomach three times. I am frightened of what he'll do when he gets up, so I run. I run up to my room, bolting, trying my hardest not to fall, once reaching the boundaries of my rooms walls I lock and shut my door but it will not close, I slam it over and over again until the bolt goes into the hole and finally it does, I am safe, relieved. But my brother is downstairs and I hear him call. "Taylor.. Taylor I have something!" Instantly I am filled with grief and I open my door to him, taking the steps down quietly. Gun shots are heard as I reach the bottom and I bolt grabbing my brothers arm. "He has a gun! He has a gun!" my brother screams. Once again the same procedure is made when shutting and locking my door. Nervousness and intensity fill every crevice of my skin as I search for my phone. "911, 911, please I need to call". I find it, I dial, no answer but music. I dial again, an answer on the third beat. "Hello?" "Please.. I need help. My step dad has a gun, hes trying to kill me, us, please! I need help!" "We'll send someone down.
It all becomes jumbled from there, but a cop comes, then leaves, refusing to get involved. I call again, another cop comes and he is shot. I give up on cops and call Samuel L. Jackson and explain to him my situation. He attempts to break into my house and kill my step dad for me, a hero, but he is shot once my step dad notices him. I call a cop again, he comes and is sneakier, more helpful but fails. I take his gun and suddenly my step dad and I are dueling outside, I'm tucking, rolling, jumping, dodging, gun shots firing aimlessly, but mine are directed at him.
And I awake.
Literally. Today I had my own exploration in a forest Veronica showed me at a park. I was trespassing, sure but I was feeding my human sense to explore, to discovery, my sense of childish curiosity that I've kept for so long and cherished so deeply. Anyways, back on track, it was almost personal, eye opening in a way that is metaphorical to me in my way. Where my friends stopped and went to play on modern playground equipment I continued on my own, fearless, curious, and daringly. I found loads of spots that I enjoyed, one being a sort of dragonfly haven where multiple dragonflies gathered to rest on leaves. I disturbed the area when passing through and found that it was almost like that scene from Peter Pan when the fairies were dancing. I also encountered a snake on my way, but the strange part was that he stopped for me. It was like he was waiting for my to cross so he could continue on his way, and it stunned me, maybe he was stunned too, however as soon as I came to my senses half a second later I bolted back a few yards and waited to pursue the trail. I met him multiple times, each time I let him continue just as he let me. When I came to the "end", or intersection of all the trails it ended at the crossing of all the water trails, the lakes, or rivers or whatever they call those man-made sewers. There was a turtle there, motionless but not dead. He acknowledged me and I him as I simply stared out at the view. The sound of cars was something I had to block out to enjoy it, but I couldn't. I took what I could in and left to return to my friends. Explaining the sensation of exploring that forest was like explaining why a man likes to dance, it's hard and sounds stupid all together.
Metaphorically, it told me how I might deal with life, always striving through past what scares me, taking a step back, but continuing to realize the golden end.
Goodbye.
I was right and I'm sure you know it. No more good luck, no more good night, no more sweet dreams, no more good morning kisses. You've lost your touch, I've lost my trust. You don't care to find your way through the maze, I don't think how do I know? It's like reading the book of an untrusted narrator, his opinion, his words, are useless. My paranoia if I can call it that, my self-consciousness, my doubts and all my worries are collapsing on my shoulders, I can feel them press against my ribs, my chest.
I couldn't sigh today. After days and days of sighing, or work, or worry, I couldn't do it, I couldn't sigh. It built up as always and when I did sigh it was like coming alive again, like coming up from drowning or the couple seconds after almost dying.
Tell me. Tell me. Tell me. It was the same with another, a mirror image in a fun house, warped, yet I stand the same. Upset, hurt, breathless. Tired as always. Exhausted, so tired, so drained from my eye sockets to my knee sockets.
Got distracted. Bye.
Just a question, you ever been joyous as a bee but still been curious about death? I have more questions. Who is to say death is so morbid? Those who are left behind, right? What about those facing the mystery. The glorious, mass mystery of life other than religion, but technically this ties into religion. Death, it's seen as a dark, depressing "whole" of life, why not look at it as a beginning of a new story or questions answered? Those who cherish knowledge will surely cherish dying. To know what is there, to know how it feels and how to be.
Death, to me, is not scary, but instead rather inciting. It's evil you say, they say, I say not! Why is suicide such a wrong way to be curious? It does not leave those behind happy, no, but neither does moving, or breaking up, or such a thing as that. I know there are flaws in my fascination, in my interests, in dying, but when you have no memory or no desire for yourself then whats the matter with a little questioning? A little death?
On my nose, in my eyes, no shame. What shame do you have? What manners? Societal rules have left your fingertips, flow right into the cracks of the cement, unreachable, ungraspable. No longer seen by the world and they continue to soak into the soil. You have no rules, again no manners, no shame again. Rude. Where are my authoritative stances? Where are my no's and my get out's? Is this a test to learn to stand up, to tell you off, to kick you out? Yes. You'll not set foot in my home like this, so rude, so inconsiderate, so thoughtless of what you say. I once thought of you, your people, as nothing but manners but now I see the difference. Like between the French and British... nono, not good enough, between the Americans and Canadians.
Good job, I may be writing about you and your people, but you specifically have caught me off guard, have ruined this post. You make me uneasy, I consider you a thief though I'm not sure, but... I have a bad bad feeling about you and I'll stick to it.
I can hear them. In my head, between my ears, snapping, like chapped rubber bands, like unmoisterized latex, snapping away against the side of my head, every memory gone with it. Every slip of confidence slipping, cracking, snapping, just like old rubber bands. It hurts both in my head and in my gut. I'm tired but not exhausted, restless in the empty part of the glass.
Bluntly, let me state this, out there and open. Have you ever sat there in the car and thought "open the door, tuck and roll out, head squashed by on coming wheel and POOF." or even just "a little swerve there, here, lose some control, head on hit." It's simple, it's fast, it's comforting some how, it's scary. I'm not always sad, not always uninterested, not always tired, just curious. You think it's wrong to wonder, to wonder about that, to think about that, I think it's normal, I think that I'm fine, nothing is wrong with me, but something is wrong with us.
I'm exhausted now. Night.
Fox trot. Tango. Waltz. Bboy. Salsa. Hell, even the hokey pokey. Dancing isn't waving around, it isn't just moving smoothly and with rhythm, it's telling a story. It's like poetry without the iambic pentameter or the end rhyme, a story. Dancing, music, poetry, stories, they've all brought me to tears of observance and understanding. It's like having your body drained of water, or contents, of insides, and being refilled and stuffed packed with music or movements of smooth dancing. Like thick cotton candy, or a good hot plate of pasta when thats all you're in the mood for, smooth four cheese tomato sauce spread on top of some well cooked manicotti noodles.
My urge, my desire more so to dance is so overwhelming that my knees have been dirty for year as I've prayed. To be able to move with grace and be gazed at as if you were floating or a well oiled machine moving with ease against the wind.... I just want to dance.
My skin; pink and in liquid flames. I make underwater cyclones in droning. They fascinate me more than current life. Under the water, spinning, elegant and smooth. Glossy like lollipops at amusement parks, or circuses, or entertainment places period. Flip it upside down, the cyclone, and it hardens, it becomes colorful and tasteless besides the pure nova cane sugar. Life, flip it upside down and I reach a score of 999 instead. My day was good, my braces are weightless, my test was perfect, my detention was extra credit, everything smells good and he responds with "I love you" instead of silence.
But life isn't lollipops, it's underwater cyclones. My score wasn't 999, my day wasn't good, my braces are like cars hanging off my teeth, my test was whatever it is I guessed, my detention was for sleeping, things don't smell at all and he didn't respond at all.
I am weighed down, I am eyeless, earless, mouthless save for the tear holes on my face. My nose is scrunched together to block out smell. The inside of my characterless face is cut up and I am waiting. My skin like heavy velvet, and I wait, motionless, weighed down. The only thing I feel is my heart, still pounding, still strong, still waiting like me.
You know what, SHUSH. Some people praise anorexia, some pray to be thin, some beg and plead and wish to lose five pounds so they can fit through the door. You know what skinny people pray for? I have no idea, but I pray to be a little fatter. I wish that maybe my hip bones wouldn't jut out and stab everyone. I wish you couldn't see the veins in my arms from miles away. I wish my elbows didn't represent crossbows. I wish my ribs didn't stick out more than my boobs did. I don't have a sickness, I'm not bulimic, I'm not anorexic, I do eat, I was just "gifted" with a metabolism that works like it's got a life long dose of speed. I could probably enjoy it better if not for all those people piling around me trying to shove biscuits, gravy, and only god knows what else down my throat only so I can be like them. Is it because I make you feel bad with the way I look? Well deal with it and leave me alone. I'll deal with MY own weight, I know how to handle it, I know how to change, thanks.
On a lighter note however, I was stretched out in the tub and I noticed that.... my hip bones, AKA hip daggers, are no longer hip daggers. More like hip swiss army knives. I feel accomplished.
And fin.
I feel like a mangy thief. A thief of happiness, goods, innocence, youth... A bringer of regret and remorse. My soul purpose is to take the first of many things and leave you with a dirty, filthy feeling. Like mud under your nails, thats where I lay. Every thick brown grain crunching and grinding against your skin and under your nails until it reaches that sensitive spot where you hate to be touched. Or even worse, chalk under your nails. It makes my teeth tingle.
But anyways, onto the reason I'm writing this. I've been taking firsts of this and that and firsts over here and there. I offer to take your first of the big thing and you agree instantly, you love me. A lot of you do. I could take all your firsts, play you all and make you feel horrible. I'll feel horrible. I wish I was Russian but then would you love me? No. So I will pretend just like you did, and maybe the rest of you did, and be okay with it. I'll pretend I want you, pretend I like you, love you, am cool with you and cool with them all, you'll love me, and I'll snatch it from you and leave in a fit of guilt and anger. You'll die I hope. But my hopes are never answered, wishes always resigned. I can still wish a type of death on you, or that I left an impression, a killer sting in your arm. But I didn't. I am a murderer underwater, fingerprint-less and DNA a drift all along the planet.
Alright here it is. I hate it all. Not sickeningly, but enough to want to shout a good "fuck you" at you at some point when you crawl. Which you won't, because I want it. Oh wait, but you do what I want don't you? Tell me what I want to hear? Obviously you don't know too well, for as smart as you are. You're frustrating, aren't you all. I can hear myself swallow hard and I'll still keep my fingers clenched tight to my palm, only to release in a shriek of remorse. The roof of my mouth scraped, raw, throbbing and all I can truly think about is how messy I can be. How sloppy. How you'll never even see this. Come July, it'll be forgotten, and if not I'll be jelly elbowed and jelly kneed, and jelly brained. But hey, c'mon, tell me you're fine, you'll suck it up, tell me you're a man because thats ALL I ever wanted to hear, or so you thought. It's not. I wanted to hear what you actually felt you robot. You tall tower of metal. Of computer insides and outs. I used to kick computers and now all I do is depend on them. But enough of that, I kind of hate you. I kind of hate what it's all done, and what I can know and see now. I kind of hate you all.
Well I lost it even though I'm still in that brooding mood, I lost it.
I'll know, I'll know he won't read this. He'll "know" I'm fine, but I'll know I'm struggling. I have no true freedom of speech, mentally, or anywhere, anyhow or who. With any person, place or thing. Even without a government, without a brain, it is all controlled and maintained in some way. The hidden OCD of nature.
I lost it.
I forgot what real butterflies felt like. They weren't flapping, instead.. resting on the inside along my stomach and what have you. At this moment I didn't think "ants", I thought "butterflies". No longer ants, no longer creepy crawlies or centipedes. But butterflies. My head lolled as did everyone else's limbs. Breathing calm. Hands warm and nervous. Eyes happily glazed as doughnuts. I have potential, as do they. In my head odds are no factor, odds do not exist. It is solely what I like and what I can try for all the while a smile.
I'm in no real mood to write, but I'm in a mood for back-rubs, late night conversations, intense blushes and uncontrollable giggles, forehead kisses, and then drifting into unconscious bliss. Waking before dawn, keeping the rooms dark and warm, watching as pixels move across the TV in kung-fu action. It's all been waiting, as have I.
Geezeus christ. Theres no escaping. It's like iron bars so close together air can't even get through and as you suffocate you rely on paranoia for answers. Your arms are weak from starvation, your head heavy from exhaustion, but still you troop on fueled by anxiety. Eyes here, eyes there, here and there and here again. Excaping is sleeping, even in sleep theres dream. Visions caused by maximum arousal, paranoia. It's all there. Paranoia is sleep and in dream. Screaming, shouting, all into the pillow in which you dream on. Your eyes are being pulled closer together by tension, by salt like slugs. You yawn and for a moment your body seems to relax until you realize theres eyes. Once again alert you rise, your skin crawling with bumps, your hair on end sending little signals up and down along your back.
Once thought as flattery is know thought as obsession. Still, flattering, still, seclusion is nice. Give it to me. Make them all leave me or set my mind at setpoint. My head feels as if it rotates back and forth like it might be malfunctioning. Even now the computer screen turns in my vision and words grow farther away. I grow sleepier yet but frantic, hectic to find a plan. Hectic. Frantic. Hectic. Frantic. Let those words die in their meaning. Frectic, is what it is. Desperate and impulse are my new companions as I try to find a way to please them and myself, and to get it all off of me. All the spiders. Get them off!
You'll smack your knee at this one. I ask for a way to relieve stress and I find it in killing mice. Mice. Plentiful, bountiful amounts of mice that inhabit our pantry. Mice that my dog can catch. Mice that Charlie can catch. But more importantly, mice that I can catch that have been eating and messing up our pantry for a while now. Even after washing my hands, or dusting off my clothes, I can feel the mice relatives staring me down, crawling on my back, gnawing through my skin and crawling under my flesh. Even after sanitizing my fingers of rabies, dirt, and mouse blood I find I can't even touch my face without feeling infected.
Infected is what I am, infected my hands will stay until the spree is over, and I can concentrate on once again building my life up, over, organized, under, and where ever need be.
So potassium, you've relieved what? A twitch? A lack in my system which reveals a little more than an unhealthy diet. My eyes are fixed again and I no longer need a stronger focus but in fact I suffer from a hazier view. Hazy from both my end of the day class and from irony I guess. As I'm bombarded by paper cuts I'll rebel a little more, wanting and needing to sit comfortably in pink, purple, gray, and... whats that, blue? It's almost the shape of a box.
My arms are overcooked noodles as of late.
Why I feel to compelled to peel bits of your cheek off and eat them I'm not sure, but I really cannot stand you sometimes and the things you do or say, thinking you're right or that you are justified in anything. I can't let you know because once again you'll interrupt, or never take it. You say men never change but I think it's more women, or no one. Why I'm so choked up over the canceling of these events is not because I wanted to go but because he did, and it would have been a first rather than a never, but what am I to do? A mistake like this, with a time limit, cannot be undone. I can't express to you much of anything not out of fear of your reaction but more my response to your reaction. I'm hoping that some day my plans will work out as they never have.
By god punch me in the throat, it'd go away.
Exhaustion will begin to run deep within the creases under my eyes and upon my forehead. Those creases mingle with possibilities and these ones chat about solutions. I could take an iron to my face and they'd still stick around to pester me as I did with plenty much else. My jaw will crack and scrap against everything in my head each time she opens wide to inhale and exhale and hale. When is the last time I felt fresh skin without goosebumps, or a neck without hair on end, or bones that didn't shake and rattle as I slept and walked? When is the last time I felt comfortably cozy within my flesh and meat, so easily chopped. When is the last time I heaved and hoed against crashing waves? And when is the last time I sailed merrily along the silk of an ocean?
When is the last time I slept thoroughly throughout the night dreaming wonderful things of plenty much else?
"The pour soul sat sighing
By a sycamore tree
Sing willow willow willow willow
Her hand hand on her bosom
Her head on her knee
Singing willow willow willow willow
Her salt tears fell from her
And softened the stones
Sing willow willow willow willow"
It's obvious I've no idea what I'm doing. Times been racing as I kept my silence and my head begins to spin as I try to get it to stop, to set straight, so I can think, so I can keep you and you and you and you. Theres no avoiding a mess, never has been with me and myself. I try to make you see, to make you understand, so I don't have to discard you but you'll never crack. Not even love helped you bloom. I've tried what I could to keep you around, to do what I wanted since I was clueless to what you wanted, naturally.
If I could I would grab your face, tell you what I could, tell you that I still needed you, but refrain from any such further intimate touches. I want to be able to comfort you, and you the same for me. I feel a need to, a purposeful like in doing so. It's an unstopped goal but I'm halted.
It's been nothing but nightmares this year, nothing but. Before then I had never had but one nightmare and it was fear I felt. Now I get a pang here pang there, pangiddty pang pang panger! I feel my stomach ready to come up, bubbling as it does and forming newly against the inside of my belly skin, red, and sensitive. My arms are like loose springs and my legs only strong enough to drag along. Even when I don't see them they are there as I sleep playing within the wrinkles of my brain and making even the heaviest sleep kill any chance of energy in the morning. I grow exhausted earlier in the nights and I grow exhausted during day, these nightmares constantly tugging, pulling, my hair my stomach, constantly trying and teasing for more bile. I've returned some sleep nothing but a shell of nutrientless, stringy flesh.
The Nightmare: It was filled with sneakiness but kindness. A smirk, maybe not kind. I snuck through windows, clattering and heaving myself around in attempts to escape a "home". I placed myself comfortably at an unfamiliar computer, but I knew who's it was. As I occupied myself playing various PC games I heard footsteps above me, he was awake. So were others. The group game smoothly down the stairs, his arm around her waist and those two puppy women following in adornment giggling and sighing. I turn in the chair, my side facing him, no eye contact made at all in effort. My eyes like magnets, they want to, but I know better, I know safer. "Hey.." Theres that smirk. I glance, I can't help it. But only for a second to find his eyes down at his shoes as he slips them on, his other hand still holding hers. I nod as he leaves. "Oh shes so into him! Shes going to try something! Isn't she so cute?!" I come to the window and in a flash the two of them are on top of his car going at it like apes. Is he trying? I don't care to find out because I've been hit hard. My entire upper body begins to ache and I heave deeply for any air, all air, but get no air. My stomach is twisting, turning, aching. My left side in absolute pain but trying to get numb, so slowly. I'm having a heart-attack. I float backwards until I'm on my back, everything looking down on me as if I'm in a grave, but I'm simple on the floor writhing around and gripping at my chest, or trying to because those small breasts are in my way. Wheres my heart, wheres that damned thing, throw it out! I want it out! It seems like hours as my heart-attack continues, and probably is because when he returns with her I'm still on the floor. I might as well have been squirming in my own vomit if not for the fact that it hadn't come yet. Waiting was what I was doing, waiting is all I've ever been doing. Waiting with nausea was all I did for him. Let me puke out all I can, puke out all my past and puke out all of his entrails and not mine. Let be puke out his kidney, his liver, his stomach, and let me puke out his heart.
I bring it on myself. I make it an effort too. I want it. I'm tired. I'm outraged. I want more. I can feel it all boiling, all white. I don't want anyone here, or around, or near. You don't want to either, but you won't do anything to prevent me.
Without the cotton cover, I cry. I cause it all to go away, and I cry. I want it to all go away and then I want it all to rush back but what impression have I left on anything to deserve it? My plan, my plan to make it all go away and then I can go away but something always comes back because I try to make it. I want to stop wanting it, to stop trying to get it back, to be able to keep it away.
Sammy is all there really, really is. Sammy. But dogs can't love, right asshole? Dogs can't love. Why love someone who doesn't love you, right asshole? Why love someone who doesn't love you. I can't even remember what I just wrote. I can't remember time. If it all went away it would be super easy knowing I don't know how to be. I don't know how to be. Or what I already am being.
It's so close. I can feel it. It makes my stomach tingle and my chest heavy. I need another push, pushes. Many.
It's rolls right off like rain down my cheeks. It feels like breathing for the first time. What I'm describing I do not feel. But it's out. How old are my friends? How old are my enemies? When are their birthdays and how have they grown? I couldn't tell you any of that at any moment. Age has slipped the wrinkles of my mind and experience is only remembered in my dreams. When I think about what I have I can only think of what I've thrown out. My exhaustion caused by my retirements so early in the day because I don't desire to contemplate. My mind feels like a yarn ball, some how it is organized but to get to the core, the essence that I need to know, I have to dig through a constant mess. Time is no long part of my life, time has no importance to me as I am. I shovel to find something to hold me, to catch me, but I'm left with only dirt. My mom is grateful, but I'm in a type of despair without my knowledge. I am unaware of myself, and will remain so. I am not grateful. Individual loss is of no weight, but the general term and process with result carries all the mass. Impressions are the tie. The benefit of knowledge.
I cannot be nice without being who I am not. I suppose my dilemma is I'm not entirely sure of my qualities. In my eyes they are the truth, in others unexplained happenstances. I can only continue.
Connection lost, plug pulled. I've finally won, shes finally given up. I can't believe it took so long. Those small arrogances, the optimism, the narrow-mindedness, it's off the plate. Another freedom for myself to enjoy.
In Maslow's eyes I'd never reached anything past physiological needs, and hes right. Maslow, you cunning man. Safety has caused me to stop abruptly resulting in the wonderful "gift" of not needing self-actualization, or esteem, or belongingness and love needs. Call it unlucky, I prefer it. It's given me the freedom, the ability to win the war. Maslow as my leading general. And even in this one war that I've succeeded in reaping the award, I've still got plenty of other wars that I'll surely win with time, with the right amount, or should I say lack, of appropriate/positive response. Because we can all point out the weak minded, the low motivation, and the lack of facts.
If I past safety needs, if I carry on to belongingness and love, and I find my "gift" ceases, then I will know this. Why would you want someone who so readily opposes you? Who so often annoys you? Who so naturally is of no value to you? Someone who in order to make happy you have to lie to about feelings? As I heard some place, some where, why love someone who does not love you back? What is to keep you pulling and pushing in such a situation?
I do know when to give up, only it's not giving up, it's letting go my choice, by force for happiness. It's tossing what does not benefit you, and what you do not benefit, into the trash bin which people try so eagerly to keep clean, so they do not learn. Mine, however, is messy as all can get, but not full, no.
As I said previously, it's only a deck of cards. I can buy another.
I was sleeping until I awoke with heartache. She was home and still not a word silked it's way over my lips, no "I love you" no "How was your day". The silent protest brings nothing but salt water drops when you realize how silent the reaction is. Even now it will all calmly wash over my face at it pales and my nose cringes with disappointment. Even now it will all caress my lids and whisper sweet, wrinkled memories of youth and comfort. All the days spent out of home, out of heart, but knowing at any time I can return. But now knowing that I am struck out of home without choice only to watch my home be demolished, burned and never rebuilt, I feel the sudden need both physiologically and psychologically for that home and once rebuilt I feel I won't ever leave, stuck in a mental youth with my thumb in my mouth.
I hear the rush in my ears and bring my face together, inhale deeply and blink until I can see again. My temples hurt as my sleeves are dampened. I beg, I hope, I wish to be caught by her. To wail in her face or at her back and hope some motherly instinct takes over to console.
Even now she does not.
It's been two nights now that my bedtime has been postponed due to sleep running away from me. I'm exhausted and furious at small things. My rats making noise cause me to throw things at their cage just to frighten them into stillness. The smallest urge to find me out causes me to spill like a sliced pool side or sack of jelly. I feel uneasy leaving home. I wake up feeling I ate bad food. I wake up shaky, tired, upset, as if I've slept on rock in winter.
Even as Jack continues his strumming I am found still yet in a merciless distress. My mind is no where I can detect. Thoughts leave me as they come, quickly and without introduction.
Stay or leave, either will kill. And in this chair I'll sit till they die and I am rendered safe, alone, and free.
As I anticipate calmly, waiting calmly, planning calmly, I prepare myself for the onrush of that feeling yet to come. As I wait I will degrade my body till it is as weak and frail as reality has led me to be, till I am prepared to build it up again.
It's that time of the season again and it's all rushing back at full throttle like a bull with turbojets. Up down up down up down. Tiny things. Sam messed up my bed, I hate him. But in the morning I'll love him. Up down up down up down. A conversation was interrupted and theres a warm spot where I sat in the hallway to moan, groan, and shriek. Up down up down up down. My throat is clogged, my chest covered in goosebumps but boiling on the inside but in the morning I'll be fine. Side to side, left right left right. Knowing you're on the other side of those walls and all I can think is we aren't even related. I'm a roommate with spoils. Now all I do is sway as I wipe my eyes. I'm dizzy with sickness, with fumes and smoke. My stomach heaves ho! Heaves ho! I try not to I try so hard but there it is like puke all over my face! My hair is tied back but am I? Oh no oh no, of course not of course not. I'll run and ramp and scream and shout and stomp my feet and I'll bust my way out!
But the silly part is is thats just the inside. Exterior-wise you'd never guess a thing.
Alright. I had something written before this but now.. I'm just absolutely livid. You don't answer your phone even though your a business woman and will answer it for everyone else even you stupid hick fuck husband. You lie to me about calling a Realtor so we can move away from said hick fuck husband. Then you don't give me the simple favors that I ask, those being a- please pour your coffee into your cup over the sink so it doesn't stain the counters and b- tell me 30 minutes before we go somewhere that we're going somewhere to I can get ready.
You know what, I don't actually give to shits that your my mom, or that you share my blood, or that we're related, I hope you get into some massive car accident and maybe learn something, because it's obvious to me the reason you don't listen is because I'm younger and apparently don't know shit. You're the dumbfuck who married a violent-bi-polar shithead and THEN FUCKING HAD A KID WITH HIM TOO.
Infact, screw the accident, leave the teaching to me. When I move out, I won't answer your calls, you won't be invited to any wedding that I ever have, you won't hear about your grandchild and won't speak to him/her until you fucking get some common sense. You also will not be coming near me until you divorce your ONCE AGAIN hick fuck husband.
Grow a brain you fucking cunt.
