I Tried




I tried to do something amazing for us this summer because the one big moment we’ve never had is spending a summer together doing things and I really wanted to. I did it for you, I did it for him but I guess it wasn’t in the cards due to you’re behaviour and decisions. I’ll keep trying for a little while longer.


But then I’ll fade until you need or want my agian. Those are our rules of engagement. I’m fine with that. I have my own life and my own friends and my own things to do. I’m fine with that. I want you beside me not just in my orbit once in a while. And you have to live with the fact that you are not no matter how much I try. I will always try. I remember what it was like when I no longer wanted to try. And there was an emptiness more than the one I had now inside. Maybe as long as I try I have hope, instead of hate. I don’t want to go back to that.


One day all hope will fade and instead of fading for a fucking moment like you want me to I will fade forever and you won’t be able to find me. And I won’t be able to rescue you.


You May be my true home. I’ll acknowledge that part, but you aren’t in my life right now. Not really. And I do still have one of those. And I have good friends both from here and visiting from England. It’s time to focus on that and be me for the rest of the summer. Being happy.


There’s a moment put aside for you but I’m already expecting you to disappoint so I’m gonna have my fun without you, just like I’ve been doing since March break 2003. We always had big plans and you never saw any of them to fruition.


I did try. I just don’t say I’m going to do something. I do it. That’s you’re problem you still think I’m the boy that loved you that had nothing and had to struggle. I’m still that boy in a lot of ways, but I don’t struggle anymore. Never agian. 


I’m just going to enjoy my summer and see when you decide to haunt my orbit again. I do cool things. I just want you to do them with me, and with him. But if not I’m fine with my current partners in crime too.


That’s the difference between you and us, I don’t need a relationship to fucking define me you do. And sadly, only one relationship defines us both. It’s the one you will never let me escape.


I don’t need you to validate my existence the way you seem to need me or my existence for yours. I’m good finding new freinds and new adventures.


Or true blood of the oldest sort and being bad boys like when we were kids.


Both of those, mission accomplished last night.


I wanted you there. I never needed you there.


I really wanted you there tonight. Instead I made a new freind and brought an old one and misbehaved.

Back to the job search i go... not really anything to do right now but play turtles smash up and watch tv so i decided to wander downtown and look for a job. I am feeling really good at the moment and trying to ride this positive feeling as long as it lasts and not let anything get me down. Current Mood: Positive. Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after another.

I hate everyone. I just pretend I don’t because I’m chasing this false inner peace, thats being constantly eroded by outsiders. I am happy, I was at peace. But I do see my country and more importantly my city for what it’s for and I’m getting angry again. Maybe I do need to be angry. Maybe I do need to rebel. Maybe I do need to speak out despite the fact that it can be used against me and hurt those I love. Nothing fucking new to me. This apathy has gotten me nowhere, this trying to be at peace was working but maybe I need to be angry, maybe I need to rail agianst the things that once were right have now went wrong. This isn’t a world I want my child growing up in, and he’s grown. But this isn’t the world I promised him. This is something else.  This city wants to pick a fight with me? Cool, I know what busybody bitch it is. Don’t think I will tolerate any threats to those that I care for or myself. You want to fucking start a war? Maybe it’s time for me to be angry again.

Someone Like You.

I know there are aspects of me, my personality and my life that you still like. It’s why you had my child and no one else’s. But I don’t colour within the lines enough for you to settle down with. That’s been acknowledged for two fucking decades. He’s an adult. I don’t need to answer to anyone anymore in my life. I wasted years fighting you when I should have been fixing you. But those moments are over.  All of our moments are over.  I don’t even need to be angry. I just need to be. You and I are toxic. I’m better off without you in my life. It’s a little less toxic when I’m the only one on the boat. Only the captain goes down with the ship. I’ve always known i would die alone anyhow. No family, no friend’s, no real accomplishments to my life. I wrote that line almost 30 years ago. Self fulfilling prophecy. At least that way when I implode no one gets hurts.  I was a fool to think otherwise. I’ve left too much damage in my path. I just want to be happy and at peace whatev...
