Days of Future Past III



I don’t live in yesterday and dwell in memory’s. I live here and now. I do what is important to me now and only what is important to me now. I held off on living to do the right thing for so very long that now I am making choices for me. And while some may fall by the wayside because of those choices that’s the way it has always fucking been. I live. I move on. You either stand beside me or you don’t. No fucks given. I count a field of those that have been left behind. And I still don’t care.


People make their choices. I react accordingly. When you come back to me begging for my attention and to be part of my life. That’s an illusion. I judge actions. Not pretty words.


Nothing in my life has ever changed because of some pretty fucking words. It’s always been actions that moved the chess pieces. 


I’m not the one jealous of anyone else’s life. The pendulum swings for everyone different. But my fate is only defined by myself. That’s the only way it’s ever going to be.


I don’t look back, except once. And that door can be closed and open at my leisure.  I live by my actions, my words, my choices. The difference is I say that something will happen it happens. Then, now, forever. I am uncompromising in my beliefs and the person I am and suddenly this big river of everything that was wrong about me doesn’t seem to be the wide of a gap for you anymore.


Probably because I’m everything I ever said I am, I haven’t changed. I just spent a moment trying to care about someone other than myself and it woke Sleeping Beauty out of her war torn slumber.


I have never been the biggest problem in your life and I’ve always lived by my own code and morals. Once before you loved and respected that, I think you still do. You’re just trying to rationalize all the damage you’ve done to all three of our lives. And if fixing us means further damage to the innocent one, then I agree with you. It’s not needed.


I have no problem with whatever we are now however. Being civil is the safest moment for both of our mental healths. It’s easier just to ignore you when I’m not wanted than it is to be angry. I’ve been done fighting with you for a very long time. 


I don’t look back. Even when some of the days we were at war looked thru the nostalgia filter might be the good old days, they are also a reminder of what could have been and the years we’ve lost. 


But that’s not on me, that’s on you.


Current Mood: nostalgic

Current Music: Blind Guardian, The Bards Song.

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...
