Scared of Her
I'm scared of her,
the girl I became 9 years ago,
scared of the harassment
I caused by texting too much.
I still struggle with this problem from time to time,
I wish the pain would go away,
but it just doesn't.
I don't trust myself
when I'm in a schizophrenic episode.
I become that monster that others fear.
I'm scared of her,
but I can't help but cry for her.
Because she deserved compassion
and she still does.
And sometimes, I'm just terrified
that I cannot give it to her ...

SpotLight - Fia Naturie
I’m Damian DeadLove. You might know me from Backstage, or possibly from right here at DU. This is a new show that’s meant for DU, it’s called, SpotLight. It’s a Q&A show, or an interview kinda vibe, if you follow. Where I will interview one lucky poet or poetess, and let them rap with me about writing ideas, or whatever comes to mind.
Our first guest is a poetess who’s been a member here since, March of 2024. She’s a brilliant writer, and has a personality no one would dare deny. I’m talking about the sexy and sassy: Fia Naturie.. Round of applause for, Fia.

Decisions Need To Be Made
There's a tumor on her spleen, nodules in her lungs, and an even bigger mass than the one they removed two years ago along with her ovaries now pressing on her lower organs and prohibiting proper functions of her bladder and bowel. She called me yesterday asking me to intercede for her and talk to her Dr.
You gotta understand, my mom is such a control freak, nobody takes charge over her life, especially decisions over her health.
Yet here I was, the one who was always incompetent and stupid, now making executive decisions over her care.
It's all so...

Dear diary: thoughts about family Dec '24
I don't understand a great deal about psychology, I spend a lot of time trying to manage my own, but I'm not an expert in people.
Something I've never really understood is family dynamics. It's never made sense to me, the insular nuclear unit.
I don't like secrets. Well, I like my own secrets. I don't like other people's secrets. I don't like having to play pretend for other people, so that the world looks at them as better than they really are. Notable exception is my daughter. She reminds me too much of myself.
My family is all about secrets and tradition...

Terra/Sarah
"Terra: Back off! I'm with the Titans! They'll be coming to--
Slade: You don't belong with the Titans.
Terra: You don't know anything about me!
Slade: On the contrary, Terra. I know everything about you. I've been watching you for some time. I know why you're always running away.
Slade: I know your secret, little girl.
Terra: No!
Slade: Earthquakes. Avalanches. Mudslides. Everywhere you go, you try to do good. And everywhere you fail. So everyone turns against you.
Slade: You lack control, Terra. And when...

It Takes A Million Negative Thoughts
It takes so much conscious effort to have a few positive thoughts that become fleeting.
I want to give myself credit in a way many haven't.
And even though I'm still scared I have a victim mentality and scared that I'm making excuses, I know I'm a boss who takes care of herself and accepts that I need a comfortable life and that's why I'm still living here. I can handle it, and I will get out of my mom's. I will through the story, Free. I will become free by writing Free!
And even though I constantly worry that Josh can't love me and no one else ever will,...

Dear Self
Dear Self,
I'm so sorry that you have gone through so much pain, that all you wanted to do was violent things even when someone was nice to you.
I'm so sorry that you have gone through so much abuse yet you were never allowed to be the victim, the one truly wronged.
I'm so sorry people have treated you like a Savior when it was convenient for them but then the devil when you had needs.
I'm so sorry that you have learned such deep self-hatred that all you could do for years was hit yourself, thinking you were the problem and no one else. Thinking you...

I Still Wanna Know Why
These Hell testimonies...are they accurate? Muslim seeing Jesus. Folks from other religions seeing Jesus. I just don't...I don't understand it. I've heard also that it seems random whether someone goes to "Hell" or not, and that their life circumstances determine their afterlife. But I don't know. I don't understand.
Christianity is the only religion it seems that talks about unconditional love; it feels so right yet so wrong.
Why does Jesus think I wanna be like the Christians who are eager to point out my sin and that I'm going to Hell rather than actually...

Finding My Worth in Myself
"You have a victim mentality," they say.
"You don't like the hard work," they say.
"You're just making excuses."
No, I don't let toxic people tell me who I am anymore. It's tempting to think they are right, but I think there's evidence pretty damning against them.
If I had a victim mentality, would I have not looked at the bright side when Hurricane Beryl took out the power? Looked at the bright side and said this gives me an opportunity to clean?
If I had a victim mentality, would I have tried to be a part of the...

My Thought For Today: Telling the Truth Isn’t Attacking Someone’s Character
I remember when someone who was once in my life told me that. They were going through struggles of their own and I remember sitting there watching their face, the emotions that flashed across as they spoke about the injustices they suffered at the hands of someone else and the defiance as they said those words. I nodded my head in agreement. Their words were truth. Truth is not an attack on a person’s character. A person’s character speaks for itself. If the truth causes a person to feel attacked there’s more than likely a myriad of reasons why. It’s not my place to be the person to say what...

Hope
It occurs to me that I’ve gotten old, perhaps even out of touch. Every generation eventually gets put out to pasture, and their ideas die with them. It’s nature, it’s the ebb and flow of progress. Time passes us by and we have to pass the torch to the future.
The only problem is the human psyche doesn’t wanna let go of being relevant. Because they would then have to face mortality. Don’t believe me? Two words. “Baby Boomers” them some people who don’t wanna let go. I jest. lol. I shouldn’t say it that way though, because when using blanket statements it comes off as arrogant...
