My "Supportive" Family
I'm sorry I had writer's block the past three days.
I'm sorry that I went everywhere from Wonderland to Oz,
into the world of Shadowmere, enrolled at the Hallows Academy,
waved at Annabelle's story, took a glimpse at Ramona's world for a third book and then fell down the rabbit hole again.
It's not my fault that your parents and sister messed up my mojo.
But when I want to show off my writings.
My current stories to my friends.
It would be nice if you pretended that I had no writer's block.
And that I wasn't that annoying.
"Why don't you read Elexis my Alice in Wonderland story, considering there's a new chapter for you guys anyway?"
"We have to re-read another story?"
My mom walks out of the room, "I've already read the story, I don't need to hear it again."
Thanks Mom.
As my boyfriend pokes fun at me, all because he himself was "embarrassed" about reading in front of someone new.
Well you could have just said that, instead you made me feel small and little, pathetic and stupid. . .
Is my story really that boring?
Or all my stories just really annoying to re-read?
"I don't re-read books."
"It's only nine chapters and a prologue."
I've re-read really good books, are mine not like those-- I will never measure up to Tiger Eyes by Judy Blume, no Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger. Is my book not one worth reading a second time, or just the first nine chapters and the prologue?
I re-read Ramona so that my mom knew what was going on, when I was still writing the second book, so we re-read a book and a half to her but that's different.
Can be that supportive when my friend, a person I just got back to being friends with is going to read my book?
I'm sorry I had writer's block.
I'm sorry I can't read my stories aloud.
It's my words.
I'll stutter and stumble.
And blush if I read them aloud.
I thought it was an honor for you, my boyfriend to read my words?
Am I no longer the soul of the age?
Am I no longer worth reading at all?
Fine go for a walk!
Sure I forgive you for embarrassing me in front of my friend.
I'm so glad that I shared my writings with you people.
Thanks for being my "supportive" family.
I'll be sure to thank when the book is finally published.
I know, maybe I talking too much offense, but these are my stories, my life, my blood, my tears--
I fought for these stories, I broken down for them,
I hurt, bled, screamed, hated, cried, lived and bent over backwards for my stories.
So if I'm getting too offended because of the way you treated my stories in front of someone--
How would you feel if I belittled something you were proud of in front of one of your friends?
I love you guys.
And I'm not trying to impress my friend.
I'm just proud of my stories.
My words.
My characters.
Like you're suppose to be proud of me.
I just wish you were more supportive than you were.
". . . In the end, we will learn.
Actions speak louder then our words. . ."
