it didnt make any sense none of it i tried to fool myself and others into believing that i had stopped trying to make sense of things but i was living a lie!! the truth was i tried ever so desperately to untangle this large ball of yarn issue...why is it whenever i am trying to finally fall out of my reclusiveness who ever i trust disappears??? was it because it wasnt the people i should have been opening up to, maybe my father needs someone to blame for all of his mistakes....maybe i was just more dependent on the people there instead of the reason i was really suppost to be there...well it is possible. but why did michael have to bardge into my live like he did??? why did pheonix kill herself??? why did i see brian that day and yet to him i was invisible??? why does my father hate me now and want nothing to do with me and yet plans on having another child. is this simply his way of hiding from the fact that everything he has ever known and done was wrong???
i started thinking that maybe it was for the best not having some new akward beginning of which nothing would be the same with brian and lisa. then i slowly realized that in order for me to simply be content witht athat circumstance that i needed to look at then as anyone but my "mommy and daddy" then it all came together in the middle of a taco bell as if some "divine revelation" that if i wantedt o no longer consider them the parents that i wish i had, knew, and loved then i HAD to have that akward new beginning. but as long as i stay away form them i will have no choice but to remember things the way they were and in this manner continually until circumstances led otherwise...still in the midst of my thinking i figured that there was nothing wrong with seeing as the mom and dad that i will never have but will eternally be there.
i spend so much time trying to make other people happy. if i feel i fufull that then its less difficult for me to say goodbye. but when i feel ive failed taht i am relentless in trying to keep that person around. simple conversations seem so impossible to muster when i can do nothing but focus on the bliss of others...
i went...i was astranged. i walked in and they were humming. at this point it wasnt too clear who "they" was. i heard a collection of voices singing song i had not before heard. they were in a foriegn language so to me these songs were just a series of sounds. i stood in line and time stood still. i thought that losing paul, amy, brian, and lisa was the end of the world. but when pheonix jumped off the freeway and killed herself the world stopped. or at least, it should have. it was strange how when you find yourself in circumstances, how everything revolves around htem. the rest of the world disappears. i walked up to the large wooden box covered in white cloth and pastel colored daisies and i suddenly felt angry not just at her but at my self, and guilty for i should have been there to catch her. i slowly leaned in with my arm linked to my mothers. my mother walked up and touched her but i just couldnt bring myself to do it. i know what i would feel; emptiness lifelessness and cold. there seemed to be that same sense of emptiness a deathly chill lingering in the air. the kind that hovered over me with an evil laugh as i ran to escape the moment but no matter how hard i tried it would ceaselessly surround me.
i couldnt understand it i closed my eyes and i felt it i opened them in the dimly lit red room and i saw it i held my breath and i could hear it faintly whispering in my ear yet no matter how much i thought about it i couldnt understand it. there was a sore lump rising up in my throat and a warmness in my eyes. i could feel the the blood rushing to my face and my hear begin to pulsate. tears fromed behind my eyes. there was a part of methat yearned ot refrain from letting them loose but with the sniffing behind me and the sobs to my left i felt liberated in a way that even if i did let my heart bleed through it would be ok. i didnt cry. i felt guilty. i thought i should have been crying for i had eery reason to, yet i simply couldnt. had i been to previously ceared to feel the final stab???
i would only allow myself to ponder anything but what had suddenly become a reality for me. death never seemed real but now i was left picturing all of my loved ones, how empty their faces would loo. and worse when death consumed me, what would my appearance be?i would be some lifeless stoic drone.for some reason i stared down at her all of our memories came together and i expected her to move. to rise and say, "just kidding" she never moved. taht was just like her to lead you to believe one thing then do the complete opposite. she always smiled. when i died, i wouldnt move either. i puzzled and brought on confusion when i realized i would not be smiling or trembling or refraing from tears. the blood rushing through my veins as people stared down at me with sad faces and tears, something i was so accustomed to but despised, would be nonexistent. i had gone home but everything was so...normal. nothing that day had been normal. why should "home" be the exception???
i always thought that when you died life was over. but to me life was over when you stopped laughing. time, jsut like food, money, and the days, was limited. there was no gurantee of the next hour. what then does one do with th minutes they hold? i thought back to a time when nothing mattered, i could go to sleep and wake up the next day and everything was awesome. now i go to sleep wondering if i WOULD wake up the next day.
i am beginning to lose track of me i dont know how i feel. i wonder do i miss them? do they think of me or miss me? do i even know them anymore? there was a large part of me tha did not care or wish to know. i feel i am forgetting how to feel i just realized my position. my position in all that i am. and that is..what i am! i cant stand it. nothing is right. everything is so out of place uncomfortable akward and nonexpressable. everyone is so nonresponsive. i knew this feeling well but i couldnt concentrate on the time when this was applied but i felt i now. there was a part of me that disliked this feeling and yet another part of me that subconciously prepared myself for something i knew to come
i read all of my old entries. i was so shallow. not to say taht much has changed but so it is taht others say. you know....? because i dont anymore!! |
