A Story To Tell
December 31, 2013
Everyone wants to believe they are enough to fix me.
It is very hard to look a loved one in the eye.
It is harder to tell them, “you’re not enough - and I still want to die”
It is a look of puzzlement that will never grow old to me.
It is betrayal, it is anger — and to me? It is greed.
I understand that you want me alive.
But it feels dishonest, it feels contrived.
This social interaction becomes my living hell.
Who genuinely cares? Who really means well?
Or who says they care, because its a better story to tell.
