The Road Not Travelled.




In my mind we are still at war, even when I am making a concentrated effort to be at peace with you. There are certain dates that the old hate returns and it becomes the strongest emotion. Even if the heart betrays me, the anger is still there and the emptiness can make it boil over. Logic and anger is stronger than my heart has ever been. Because neither of those things have never betrayed me the way that you have.


You have no idea how much it takes to suppress the will to fight and somehow make you suffer still. But I am beyond that. I’m beyond being miserable. If I wish to be at peace I need to look beyond you. It’s something I don’t think I will ever be able to do. But at least when I look upon you now there isn’t anger, just pain. Pain you caused.


You and I have a past. I’m not sure we have a future anymore. But I am sure the road not travelled  would have been the right one for us. 


But it’s not the road that you chose for us. I don’t have regrets. You do. I just live my life and do fun things and live like I always have. No rules. No regrets and no looking back.


I am not the one to blame for how the world has affected you, in some ways it’s not even about you. It’s just what has happened to you. Just because I am here doesn’t mean that it’s unconditional, I do have expectations. I always have.


I have nothing to prove to you, but you have plenty to prove to me, and you know that. You’ve always known that. That’s why you can’t face the reality of making choices and changes that you need you. 


But I’m patient and I am in a good place. I don’t mind waiting. I never have. I just dislike the fact that you’ve expected to wait.


Flames do go out. And I have no idea how we ended up where we are right now anyways. 


The fact that certain decisions long term have come back to haunt the both of us, a lot of that of that is because of you’re decisions and my apathy.  We could have been someone else, we could have been somewhere else. We should have been.


I don’t know where we would have ended up, I just know where we are now. And where I think at some point where we would like to be. But that means you have to deal with stuff in your life and in you’re head. You know what’s waiting.


I’m at a place in my life where I am happy, and I enjoy doing my adventures and just living. The only thing is missing is having you at my side and giving our child the kind of experiences that we had together. I think that is lacking in your life. I know that I am lacking in your life. I have no doubts about that.


The best choice in my life was putting my weapons down and letting the war end in peace. I should have done it a long sooner and been civil with you instead of being angry. Regardless if we had ever spoke again, it would have been a better healthier outcome for the both of us.

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...
