The Dope Show



The fact I have and have always suspected you of drug use because of your erratic behaviour and decisions over the years shouldn’t come as a surprise to you. You’re life is falling apart and you are the only one hiding bullshit anymore. I have nothing to hide and I don’t do drugs. I am losing patience with the person that you are. 


I no longer believe you to be the person I once knew. I’m not even sure that person ever existed and wasn’t just a mask of your real personality. I’m not sure I ever really knew you. I know what it’s like to be an alcoholic, I am one. That’s why when I drink it’s very controlled. And I know drug addicts, and you’re behaviours just seem to get worse digging that fucking hole. 


The people you are with and the rumours that I have tried not to hear for decades all correspond. I no longer feel any guilt for thinking I was the lesser person. I know that I’m not. I did everything I could and it was never enough for you. 


I am the better person, and I’ll be the better person for eventually walking away. I did before, I can do it again. 


I won’t watch you slowly die as an outsider to my child’s life. I hate to fucking say it, but there are now days I expect that phone call because I can’t tell your truths from your lies, I don’t think that you can either. That’s part of the problem, you don’t live in this reality and you dull whatever pain that’s left in your life….


My biggest problem is I can always tell in your voice when you lie to me, and I all I hear these days is a lie and attention seeking behaviour with no resolution. I’m too old for this shit and I’m not saving someone who doesn’t want or need to be saved. I won’t let you drag me down into your hell either. I’ve seen where you’re life leads. It wasn’t, and has never been mine.  It just destroyed mine.  


If and when you go down in flames, I’ll be there for him, whether or not I can promise the same for you will always be determined by the circumstances. If it’s a poison of your own creation, it’ll be a consideration of how I deal with. 


Make no fucking mistake, I’ve been preparing to mourn you for most of my life. That’s always been on your actions. I think the problem is that now that you can no longer hide whatever you have become. Not from me, and not from anyone. 


At least before maybe you had me to blame but now you have nothing and no one and your world is crumbling. You want me to save you from the ruins you, yourself have created. But I’m not there anymore.

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...
