soooooooo last satday i had the worst day EVER. seems to me like i am slipping into the state of worthlessness yet again.
it peeves me off to think like this because i try to be optimistic
really, i try
i build up my walls and lock myself away and then somehow someone is able to penetrate thru and the cracks start showing
i didnt really care that the wall was falling down and i was letting people in
people like you
yet you sprung this thing on me which i dont deserve
or maybe i do deserve it and this is your way of punishing me
but i wanted to believe that everything was changing
that once i’ve lowered my bridges and let you thru you would care
i thought you wouldnt critisize me about the things i wanted to do and the paths i wanted to take
yeah
you broke me
i mended myself
i glued myself back together
i rebuilt those walls and put in a door instead
i opened my door and let you in again
yet everytime i did this you just had to ruin it
you smashed it beyond repair
then the memories start flowing back
and i remember why i built these walls in the first place
i remember why i didnt want to be a nice person
i remember why i wanted to be selfish and blame others
i remember why i didnt want to go home
and really, these things all point to one thing;;
running away
yeh i thought about it a lot
when i was wat? 14? 15? probably even younger
the thing is, i cant cope under your stress even if i say i can
i CANT
i cant have people having this GREAT EXPECTATION of me
i cant do it under the scrutiny of others
i especially cant possibly go on juggling all these emotions of others, bottling it inside of me and then dwelve in it
it’s too much
i am one person
show me ONE emotion at a time
don’t be all happy and treat me good
then be angry at me for what i can or cant do or say
dont start feeling guilt and remorse when you’ve realised what you said cant be taken back
dont be sad when you know its not your fault
dont give me all these emotions if you wont take responsibilities for your action because i cant handle it
i cant handle the fact that you’re always overreacting
because there’s nothing to overreact about
ESPECIALLY MY WEIGHT.
there i said it
i am human and i can get insecurities too
i’m not the robot you think i am
i dont need to hear you constantly comparing me to those svelt people in movies and magazines
i dont need to hear your constant agitation towards my laziness because the fact is
I AM LAZY
live with it
i don’t want to change who i am just for you
i dont want to exercise because you tell me to
i want to do it for myself
but this stubborness instilled in me since little cannot die
there’s this little voice telling me to push and prod you until you explode in anger and finally kick me outta your life forever
i can live with that
but i cant and wont live with the fact that you overreact if i dont do something to your liking or when you talk about my weight and laziness to people and the fact that i dont do shit around the house
because i do
or at least i did
i washed the dishes
i cleaned the toilets
i hung the washing and took the laundry in
for years
ever since i was 8
yet you insist on me doing everything
i am not the only person in the house
if i could do it at age 8 so can she at age 13
its this bias thing you have towards me that i cant handle either
i cant cope with the constant overreacting to things
the constant yelling
the constant neglect you inflict upon me
im trying to juggle your pent up anger, my emotions and stress all at the same time
i feel like i will explode and blurt things that i cant take back
because i am a destructive person
you’ve made me put up a wall all my life
i’ve only put it down
not for long
yet you’ve already started demolishing it to bits and pieces
the cracks are getting bigger
and any day now
i will splurge
i wont be that happy person you see anymore
i wont be that person who smiles even though she is getting shouted at
i wont be the one who supports you when everything goes wrong
i definetly wont be the person who will listen to what you have to say and stay quiet
im trying to stay intact
im trying to rebuild
yet everytime i cement a brick into the wall
you bash another down
at this rate
the wall will stay up and the door will stay shut
the person inside will be locked away for ever
the selfish person will come out to play
and you know what?
we’re all going to regret it
because i did learn how to change for you
i did alter my selfish side and be nice
i didnt ask for much
love. affection. compassion.
yet you turned a blind eye
you always do
you never see whats in front of you
you’re always looking over the horizon
and you’re over analyzing things
you lie
you do the things you can to get by
and you leave the sufferers behind
not even sparing a thought
i dont want to feel this way
caving into your disciplinary acts that will make me a fake
but i guess im already a fake right?
dont i still keep on a smile for you?
dont i still try to win your love everytime?
i guess i never learn
because in truth
i cant cope with you hating me
a part of me came to relise that you only love me if do the things you want and do it your way
and i did do it your way
i’ve done it your way for a while now
i want to do it my way for once
for once let me be in control of my own life
treat me like an adult
not a dog you pass by on the streets where you dont even give it a passing thought
so here’s what i’ve come to realise;;
until the day you can treat me as a real human being with real emotions
im just going to stay shut in my walls
i was never claustrophobic
dont worry about this wall
theres a breathing hole large enough for me
i can live through this like i’ve lived thru every lie you’ve served up to me in a silver platter of hatred
its just that i wont be so susceptible
i wont bend that easily anymore
