Remembering. . . I don't blame you though
So, you know when someone says something big, and youre like, "wow that really sucks, I wonder how they must have felt" and then you realize you know exactly how it felt, evey line of evey moment written down in a place in your mind you closed long ago. You instantly remember dozens of memories you had repressed and now you're finally old enough to understand all of it and the pain, the blame, the idiocy, and the craze of those moments. You remember calling 911, running in fear, then years later, having to carry a crying infant and going through all of it again. Yes, I'd forgotten what this fear was like. I don't have fear anymore, but I did, I had it so much, it was my entire life, all I knew was fear, slowly, my trust and sense of security would be rebuilt only to be shattered as soon as it could susain itself. Fear was the skin I shed to become the man I am now. And I had forgotten, I hid the skin in a vault I just accidentally unlocked. And I don't blame you, even if you were a trigger.

It's feeling
ReplyDeleteempathy.
Did
you feel
any empathy
reading my
posts?
All the time
ReplyDeleteIs that
ReplyDeletea...bad thing?
To just
go back
in time
and feel
bad things...?
Sometimes, I'm better now, I just remembered a whole part of my life I guess I repressed. . . It wasn't fun. But I don't blame you and I'm fine now :)
ReplyDeleteI mean.
ReplyDeleteThe part
of your life
you repressed
doesn't sound
so
great.
Your mother
right?
That's
pretty
heavy.
I'm glad
you're
fine.
No, I remember the pain my mother caused I initially. Like I said, fear was the skin I shed. And this memory, was fear, to the core, it made me k ow what fear truly was. And when I remembered what happened, I remembered the fear, the vulnerability, and I hadn't felt that for so long. That's why it hurt so much, because I didn't feel like I had grown from that 10 year old, or 12 year old child goig through these things. And I hadn't remembered the fear I felt then, until I did, again, just recently
ReplyDeleteBut, like I said, I'm better now, I'm taming the monsters, because they have no control over me, and they need me. And I'll help them become better than monsters, maybe even human
ReplyDeleteThat sounds
ReplyDeletelike such a
nice feeling.
Where you
can tame
your own
monsters
or any monsters.
And also
where
something you
repressed
comes back
only for you
to be
able to
look it
in the
eye.
Powerful
words
honey-honey.
These monsters are real though, they exist, but they're getting better as I'm growing stronger
