i want to write a story
two people who are in love that don’t recognize each other in the end.
two rivals who realize they have so much in common.
i want to write a story
someone who doesn’t become the beast
some one who breaks free
and on the page
helps the reader
to escape.
there is more truth
in one sentence.
this current reality
is actually fiction,
since
“every one wants
to play
Hamlet.”
no one else can understand this pain
unless they fought the same demon.
all our demons
. .are our own
. . and unique
that way, you say –
– I think then
you should
leave
me
alone.
in a less positive cheery light
then to each their own sin
and disregard the sacrifice
of his only son.
I only want to know
what the meaning of suffering is,
you can keep your trite advice,
and save it for the next
poor soul
who isn’t battling a demon
the size of Goliath.
I pray an angel
is up above
helping me win.
i love this!

REALLY?? i thought i was being so mean, but it’s how i felt after someone just came out of the blue telling me that i should be happy that my demons are so unique. and that if i change my mindset, i can CHOOSE to be happy. she didn’t understand that i’m in pain 100% of the time and tbh…i feel like that’s a category of toxic positivity. People who helped were not a shadow like this person was, she just came out of the blue to give me that advice i just … had to write it out.

i like that term, “toxic positivity.” that is totally a thing. i get that a lot when i complain about being overwhelmed as a mom. i wrote a page about it recently (but haven’t illustrated it yet.) no one should be allowed to tell another person how to address their demons. ❤
