Black Christmas

Christmas is a holiday that persecutes the lonely, the frayed, and the rejected.

Just because I'm not at war with you anymore doesn't mean I'm at peace with you either. I needed to step back for my own mental health. But you're actions this year and lack of any on his birthday and this holiday have proven exactly who and what you are. I don't want to fight you or hate you anymore.. but I simply don't want you in my life for any longer than I have to acknowledge you in it. As for asking me to stay, that's a goddamn fucking joke.. I'm not going to stay here and be miserable when there are a million other options our there.. just because it's what you want.. me staying close... Nope, not going to happen. I don't need to be here. I don't want to be here. I don't forget one day of my life exactly how you betray me, and the fact that for his birthday and Christmas day I had a glimmer of fucking hope in regards to seeing him... That's just you twisting the knife one more time. I may have stopped fighting.. but I haven't forgotten, nor forgiven.
The fact is I don't need you, or anyone but the ones that choose to be with me to have a good fucking time on the holidays. I do epic shit with or without the people in my life... It's just more fun when I have someone to share it with. That person will never ever fucking be you agian. If it's not clear yet.. it should be. You've been fucking replaced... A long time ago. I don't need a partner to define me, that's the difference between us. The fact I have one and she makes me happy that's everything in the world to me.
I chose to have Christmas plans with the person who has had my back for the longest time.. thru all the shit and misery.. it felt good buying him Christmas dinner and spending the day with him. I wouldnt have spent it anywhere else without him unless I was with my son actually.
I had a good Christmas and the only thing that sucked was I got my hopes up about a call or an invite to go see him... The whole game in November I see now for exactly what the fuck it was.... A mind game.. same as always.. I got answers... I got a lot off my chest.. but not enough... But until he's back in life it will never be enough.. and I've come to expect disappointment when dealing with you. It's expected. But for once in my life I have something and someone who is mine and I won't give that up to play your little nostalgic trip because you're looking back on you're life and something is missing... That something is me... But I have moved past...
...and when I look back at my life, I lived, I had adventures, I enjoyed myself. I never had anything in my life I was missing... Save one thing.. and that's my child. Ive never needed to miss anyone because I always expected them to eventually fade away, freinds, family, loved and trusted ones... It's the story of my life. I define me for me. That's it. No one else. Merry xmas.
The fact of the matter is.. and always will be, I am a fucking afterthought to you... I always will be. I'm not important to you so why the hell should you be important to me.. You're just fucking jealous that I have found someone better than you that is superior to you in every way and you want to ruin my happiness instead of just leaving me the fuck alone... I've moved on you need to do the fucking same... Stop using him like a pawn every time you make contact as well. I'm done with this. I spent this Christmas waiting for you're false promises... It wasn't done for you. It was done for him,  there's a reason there are gifts here and there's a reason I left my plans blank... It had nothing to do with you and it never will... You are part of my back pages in a book that burned a long time ago... I'm writing a new story now, you're not in it.
The thing that hurts the fucking most is that it's not about you and I, it's about the grandparents that are the only ones he has left... And you're anger and pride hasn't allowed him to have a relationship with them, you talk a big game about family... But that's not really it.. it's just about what the fuck you want and when you want it. If you really wanted us to be a family you'd realize what the two of you had lost and what I'm losing and there is a limited time frame on that. but it's not important to you, meanwhile it's everything to me... So.. I will continue on without him until I have to make contact...

Now I'm an old Christmas tree, the roots of which have died. They just come along and while the little needles fall off me replace them with medallions.

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...
