Not Enough
Their hand slaps me and tells me not to indulge in the popcorn, I'm not paying for it.
The depressed people says I am too naive.
Atheists say I'm stupid for believing in fairytales.
Christians say I just need faith.
How can I truly deal with this pain...
If I knew there was truly nothing after I die, I would have killed myself.
I do not need to love when everyone gets their cake,
and I get a crumb,
and I'm told I'm selfish for that crumb...
Even if those who need my voice,
it still...

Dear Jesus...
Dear Jesus,
Do I have anything to give to you? I want to know you because I relate to you. Maybe even more than I could ever imagine. I have these stories, Lord that I know will inspire many. My cry out for more in a world that gave me less and less.
Lord, I want all my skeptic friends To know you. No not just spout a few words but things that go beyond the words. But the heart! The heart, Lord! And my skeptical YouTubers I love like Matt Dillahunty and Amazing Atheist to go to Heaven.
My theory Is that those who were given so little and wanted more will...

Golden Coins
Leaves like golden coins
hanging from trees
whispering
witnessing,
winter's metamorphosis
falling to the forest floor
like footsteps
listening to nature sleep

Waste
I hung out with that same male friend again. We talked about deep things and we cuddled, and still, I mentioned you. The pain, the hurt, the suffering. It's endless. I am not hopeless this time, but I still wanna know why.
Why you wanted to manipulate me. Why you wanted to hurt me. Why I had to be the one you kissed on the cheek tenderly, and yet I was still nothing. Nothing to you. A memory years and years ago that meant nothing.
I'm supposed to be better than this. I'm supposed to not fall for the lie that boys can do when they want sex and then discard. I'm supposed...

Going Dutch
seem to be reminiscing alot of late. today about the 14 schools i went to, in the space of just 11 years, the first two in Dutch (my favourite, the second Dutch school, i was teachers pet. i know this, as she kept me in a cage at the back of the class!) in reality, i was invited to her house. she was widowed, her husband had been in the Dutch Resistance during WWII, and died at the ands of the Nazi's. she taught me how she made her own butter, and was generally a really lovely woman, that i desperately hoped would adopt me, anything to get away from my family! her name was Mrs Paul...

Happily a Burden
I remember that night the cops stopped me in my tracks. I was on some road late at night, having a schizophrenic episode softly in my mind. I was talking in a way that was mean and devilish.
One of the cops knew me and said that "this wasn't me." That I was not acting like myself.
This was the same cop who once told me that I'm at fault for not moving out of my mom's sooner, that it's my responsibility. Seeming to pretend I don't have an extreme disability that employers would mistreat me for. As if I'm not already empty handed.
And all I can think...

Contaminate
I also watched Heidi Priebe's video on toxic shame not too long ago. She mentioned in the video that people with toxic shame feel as though they will contaminate others with their existence.
Sadly, even in recent years, I have been treated that way.
Like a baby who used to cry for love and comfort, I have stopped.
Their cruel voices cave in.
"I nor anyone else has the emotional capacity to deal with your extended issues."
"You could have moved out of your mom's house! It's your responsibility to get on with your life!"...

Repress
Right now, it feels as though my jaw is really tight and that my body on the inside is shaking. Doing my best to hold it together. I'm very good at numbing myself. I'm very good at not showing emotion. I'm very good at thinking that any sign of affection and love is weak and nothing more. I understand that this has been the main reason why I struggle to love myself and others. Maybe even why I struggle to function. But I struggle to function for a much, much deeper reason than that.
For every interaction I face, I have to be faced with the question constantly circling in my mind....

The Same Person Everywhere I Go
I watched another Heidi Priebe video on the fearful avoidant attachment style. The style that is so me. Heidi Priebe is a YouTuber who often speaks on attachment theories.
She says the goal of healing from this attachment style is to become able to be the same person everywhere I go.
And all I can truly think is what...? What does that mean...? For someone like me...? The person who wants to spit in the face of those I receive kindness and love from? The person who would scream and wake up those if I lived in an apartment? The person who feels suffocated from others...

Are my songs showing up in anybodies UPDATES list? I am wondering because I don't see any activity. Or do the song versions of my poems just suck?
