you creep into my dreams once again and I hate my brain for it/canβt it understand thereβs nothing left to say/thereβs no need for closure/this distance is better for both of us/besides thereβs no coming back from this
miss the days when I was your favorite person, when you greeted me with excitement when we played candyland for your hours Nowadays. Iβm lucky to get a βhiβ from you, nowadays, I hear more from you through cashapp than IRL nowadays when I ask you about your day, you murmur a one word response and overnight you went from my sweet cherub to a tall and lanky stranger I donβt recognize and while I still hear you play with your legos I know those days are coming to an end soon While growing up is inevitable to the passage of time itβs still heartbreaking and painful because youβre the last one of my trinity making the transition from boy to man
canβt seem to get away from my demons no matter how fast i run, no matter how healed I claim to be they always haunt me in my dreams, or when Iβm at my most vulnerable and happy thinking life might finally be going right for me But out of the blue, my new boyfriend annoys me, unexpected bills show up, my stalker is back and creeping on my blog, and I fight with my teenage son I wonder what did I do to piss off the universe this time
my son is bright green as he explores the world as he learns to communicate his needs as he learns to navigate life and comes across joy and heartbreak and comes to me with questions when something doesnβt work out
my joe goldberg is back and a sense of doom overwhelms me especially because I know how psychol this Joe is from thinking heβs in love with me because of my blog to remember the constant barrage of harassment I endured from him for a few years, I got a major case of the icks and while I should be extra happy my blog is getting ten time the views it normally gets it creeps me out entirely knowing itβs him knowing that somehow my blog and my pics on there are fodder for his spank back and his many delusions
Itβs fading fast, the time where you willingly spend time with me Soon youβll prefer your friends to me Soon youβll lock yourself in your room and only come out for food Your voice is changing and youβre already taller than me and your hormones makes you all kinds of angry and me and everyone in the house are in denial that youβre growing up because youβve been the baby for so long our little rainbow who lights up our family and itβs hard for us to accept our baby is blossoming into a young man and every day my heart hurts more thinking how fast itβs all going, and how soon Iβll be forgotten slowly fading into your background
ego finally captured, Iβm calm and humbled the spiral of paranoia is gone no one hates me, no oneβs out to get me it was a false narrative I created in moments of madness it was fake news as I let my emotions get the better of me and control me Iβve gained clarity again
I punish the men in my life with silence I learned it from my mom sheβd last days without saying a word to my dad after a fight always waited until he broke down and apologized she always needed to win and while Iβm not as brutal as her I need to protect myself when a man makes me feel like Iβm not good enough, like Iβm a monster so I walk away calm and give a silence so deafening theyβre ask a million questions why theyβll search answers in between the lines of the posts I write and if theyβre smart enough and get the hint, theyβll stay away from me
My son is blossoming and becoming the man I always knew he could be Heβs ambitious, heβs kind,heβs a hard worker Heβs a motherβs dream come true And while at times he may still stumble and occasionally Heβs inherited strength and resilience from me It keeps him from giving up It keeps him moving towards a life full of success and happiness
one day I’m going to make her proud of me with my book
it found me on a tuesday afternoon, inspiration for a book a poetry book of sorts telling my life story and while this has happened many times I pray this one sticks because I have all of my material in my google docs at the very least, itβs given me inspiration as to where to go next
itβs the hunger games time again I meant the MET Gala where celebrities show off their ostentatious and grotesque expensive outfits while the majority of us are trying to make sure all of the bills are paid, wondering if we do indeed deserve our weekly treat at starbucks, while some of us are being deported to countries we donβt belong to or that we donβt remember for the sole crime of being brown and having the right documents
itβs the hunger games time again oh I meant the MET Gala and of course weβre shocked Sabrina didnβt wear pants and that Rihanna is pregnant again even though half a world away in Gaza, moms are burying their children, thatβs if theyβre lucky to find them under the rubble and the Good Ole USA is on itβs way to becoming a Nazi state and half of us are in a cult devoted to Trump while the other half are struggling and unsure of where to look for comfort, for reprieve from all of the fires burning
