So as usual, I found myself today in a whirl of myself. Thinking and feeling and seeing.The colors stood out on my ride, brilliant gold of the grass, the green in the trees, the purple of the shadows, and the blue of the sky. The clouds are all white with fluff, and as the sun sets the edges turn gold. I’m in wonder, thanking God I’m alive to see, and that I’m aware to feel.
Not only the world, but my mind is alive with colors. Today is a flourish of orange, but blotted with blues blacks and greys. I’m waiting and fearing and grieving today. I’m waiting for my boyfriend to send me ONE god-damned text message, for one, and I’m worrying about what will happen to us. I’m afraid.
I smell barbecue, and see kids at soccer, and that hits a nerve like a string on my guitar. Soccer Games; I never played a sport, not one. Unless you count the two gymnastics years I took before my mom stared really dying. To be honest, I feel like my childhood had been deprived. Wile most kids went to ballet/basketball/football/soccer/gymnastics you know what I did? Sat on my ass and ate gushers wile watching Kenny the fucking Shark.
Really? Really now? Everyone else has pictures of their kids in their uniforms, smiling and missing a front tooth. My house is naked, it seems like people only exist in it, they’re not really living. It’s painful too, once Mom let me put a hall of my drawings, I remember one. A blonde girl, red background, green shirt, blue eyes, purple necklace, in my little Kindergarden drawing skills. Oh sigh. My house used to be home and you know what that word means now? Where I reluctantly exist. I live outside, in the Summer sun. I miss it, it feels like a friend has passed away.
What do I fear today? Everything. Worst case scenarios, crying, yes I’m scared to cry. Myself, thongs and dresses, and that I’ll never look good in one because of how fat I’ve become. I just need something, tell me what it is. Please.
