I am fighting a war today. With me and myself. I am tired. And a woman. (sorry, TMI. I know). But my thoughts suck tonight. And there is only one person I would like to call. But my head tells me to let him be. And it makes me even more miserable. I feel as if I am sinking. And then the addict inside wakes up. Come on! Just once. You’ll feel better afterwards. Trust me. But as I said; I am fighting. And running in a circle. I try to escape myself, but – a circle. There is no escape. And I would talk to a friend. But in this kind of mood, my mind tells me that I don’t deserve to bother someone else with my ridiculous self-made problems.
Sometimes, I feel like I am running out of words and out of sound and all that comes out of my mouth are trivialities, because I simply can’t find a voice to tell the people around me how I really feel. (From this ancient post moods… )
The Cure -Plainsong
SO I sit here and keep fighting. I am alone. No kids around. The music is loud. “Disintegration” by the Cure. I might need a cure for my own disintegration soon too.
A week or so ago, a friend told me that one of my qualities is that I never lose my humour. It just gets darker.
And I wonder, if I really fill his holes, why doesn’t he send a life sign. Nothing in weeks. Maybe he doesn’t want his holes to be filled. Maybe he likes to stand in the rain and the way it soaks his soul. And the creative in him can use the feelings of hurt he inflicts on himself to write. And I will be the reason for the rain and the pain. But I am not. I can’t be. Please don’t make me into someone I am not.
drowning internally One of those poems I have written a long time ago. From time to time, the emotions in it become true again.

This was an amazingly moving read. It’s as if your soul and emotions poured on to paper. A true gift you possess Cathy. I can relate to your words in so many ways. I really do think people who can internalize and contemplate their suffering. Are both some of the most creative and tormented souls. Keep fighting that good fight and never give up.

A fitting title for sure. And I think all eternal truths are bore from pain and suffering. Oh and P.S. I love the Cure! “Close to me” is my jam. 😆
