Better Man.



Just because I’ll always be there for you doesn’t mean I have to like or enjoy whatever this is. A lot of the times I don’t like it. And I don’t even like you. But I love you both and I have responsibilities to you, and that trumps me being angry or upset with you.  We hurt, we are always going to hurt. 


You are jealous of everything I do. And everything both of us do is just another fucking move on the chess board. Except here’s the problem, I’m the rook and the knight and I move to protect my little king, but you are sitting there on the opposite side of the board waiting for Prince Charming to capture the queen.


Except I’m not wearing a white hat, you’ve made me the villain in your story, so I embrace it and become the villain. I’m always best when I’m wearing the black hat and being the bad guy.


But this isnt about me and you, it never has been, it’s about that little king, all grown up. I have to think about how my actions and behaviours affect him. That’s the priority. So I make my choices based on that. I have to.  I did the right thing, I will always do the right thing by my son. But you have no right to be angry that I have a social life outside of you. You aren’t part of that. You left being an active part of my life 20 years ago. 


I’m allowed to have friend’s. Just because I choose you first doesn’t mean I’m going to give up my support circle and the people I care about that have had my back for decades. 


Stay jealous. 


You always placed me last, until there was no one left, and now you want to fix the damage you created and everything that you took away. It’s been forgiven, does it fucking look like I ever forget anything?


Go find a better man, you’ve been trying to for two decades even though the best choice for you has always been me, but I wasn’t nice and shiny and new enough and I wasn’t part of your world enough to be that guy when i should have been. 


I wasn’t part of your world, that’s why you fell in love with me in the first place. Now you want to be part of my world, I’m not sure there is a place for you here. 


Go find a better man, instead. You wont find one. I’ve always been the better man.

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.

Franco Un-American.

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...
