Easier to leave

This damn Mercury retrograde ALWAYS gets me in a fuckload of trouble, ESPECIALLY when Mercury happens to be retrograde in it's native sign Gemini, ruler of communication. I managed to piss off and scare off John Doe good and proper all right, but subconsciencely, I believe that I accidentally on purpose did sabbatoge any and all sex/romance/cyber with what would have been a very willing cyber mate, at least. Underlying, unresolved issues of anger, fear of vulerability, deep heartache, sorrow, and God knows what else prevented me from taking this ... ongoing relationship of frustration from going any further. I felt angry at him and made a couple comments that were completely unnecessary, Jesus, homegirl, why? That is out of character for me to behave that way and although I didn't INTEND to come across as scary and cruel, nevertheless, that is exactly how I came across. And for that, I am truly sorry.

Sometimes, I step back and look at my actions and words and yet, can hardly believe I would say or do something so mean. OMG, and worst of all, it breaks my own heart the most because they were my words or my actions. "Why the hell did you have to act like such a BITCH, girl?," I ask myself, yet somehow afterward I am just as bewildered, the part of me that voiced uncalled for vendictiveness, almost..perhaps against him, while trying to protect myself on some level. Sigh. I'm truly sorry though because I did NOT want it to end like that. Why do I hurt people unnecessarily like that? This makes me sad, as that was totally uncalled for.

Mom surely does not like John Doe, never did. She thinks he was and is an asshole, perhaps just like a part of me see's him how she does, but there have been a few slips back into old behavior from time to time, like verbally hurting a man that may or may not meant to hurt me. Used to be that my anger made me feel better when I lashed out at someone that hurt me, but for the last 3 or so years, revenge only makes me feel worse, no matter how petty. Therefore, lesson here is to remember this and NOT lash out at others even when they did me wrong in order to avoid seeing my part in acting like a jerk and how much that hurt me even more. I thought I had that one down. Don't let others walk all over me, but at the same time, don't go all Fatal Fucking Attraction mental on others either. Sigh.

Several weeks ago, when I was high with Linda and Aimee, I marveled at how connected to them I feel, and how much I loved sharing chemical love/bliss with both of them. Linda is my Mom's age and she had told me she'd been going through depression from lack of chems plus how life in general at times feels too painful, and how she sometimes thinks about ending it all. I don't feel she would ever do that, but still I understood the FEELING because that sounded exactly the same song and dance I've done my entire life. Later that night, Aimee told me the same thing, so I said, "Ah please don't, baby girl I'd fucking MISS you too much!," I said with the same sadness I said to Linda, yet understood 100% all the same. Sometimes I hurt so much and although both of them would probably be a bit upset wondering why I just offed myself without even telling them goodbye, ..... a part of them would understand because they've felt the same damn way, had the same fuckin feelings.

Today, I gave it a lot of thought as I walked to the place to drop off and pick up my car. I saw myself in an enclosed garage with the car on, windows down, waiting for death to take me, which I know would be soon, and an old death/suicide poem clutched into my hand for whoever found me. I'm not quite bold enough to actually die by the knife, leaving red liquid all over hell and gone, having to take in the smell of my own metallic life force leaving, overpowering and STRONG. I doubt I could ever do that, but suffocating and falling asleep from carbon monoxide poisoning.....it's morbid, but I'd be cherry red by the time death came, as if I'd put on bright red lipstick because that's what death by exhaust does....turns a person cherry red.

I'd be crying, the tears and sadness pouring down my cheeks until feeling the calm effects from the auto exhaust. "You tried, homegirl, although still you know murder by suicide is still wrong. It's murder, you'll have to take the consequences of Purgatory or hell, or some earthbound pain will keep you here, forcing you to see the pain you caused others.....how you might have made different choices for yourself, but now can no longer make. You didn't want to go on facing life as an active drug addict, perhpas do the REAL courageous thing and tell God and everyone, I need detox and rehab. That would have taken real courage, but instead you chose the passive-aggressive way out.

Life seemed impossible, sure, yet you clocked out because death is so much easier than life, what a cop out. I wanted permanent oblivion, the perfect promise of death, but how horrifying to discover there is no death...not really...my soul never feeling more anguish than upon this discovery.....NO! Seeing and looking down as whoever discovered my physical death and body, watching them read the morbid poem/suicide letter for whoever might find it:

Better Off Dead



7/02/03



In the pit of the valley once again

Funny how Mama wonders where I’ve been

Apparently so has one single friend as well



I lock myself away

Fuck this life

That’s all I’ve got to say



Frustration beats at me fast and furious

Fuck me til I cry

I’m not even curious



I don’t give a flying fuck no more

But then again

Why should a $2 whore?

I hate you life

Go find another wife



I’m going to slice open my artery and vein

I don’t give a rat’s ass

If I’m truly insane

Steel that shines

I take a sharp knife



Feeling the sting of his kiss

On my porcelain white thighs

Staring at the red glow



Soon I’ll surely go

To my reservation in hell

I watch in a cold, detached sort of way



As rivers of crimson paint my thighs

I can see the life force being sapped away

Hearing silent screams of spiritual beings

I hear them not, fuck them I am fleeing



Besides what’s the difference

How I choose my death?

The knife is quite practical

And quicker than meth



No more sunsets,

No more worries

No more happiness,

No more hurries



No more stupid dreams

Of comical self delusion

Need bother a $2 whore with confusion

No more starlight,

No more despair



Only darkness to claim a life

That will soon no longer be there

No more frolicking



With the razor sharp pick

I laugh out loud

Because I was HIS trick



It’s not that I blame my disgusting addiction

It’s not his fault I’m getting my eviction

I’m tired of moving, I’m tired of living



I’m tired of dying, of taking and giving

It’s life and everything I am taking leave

I want no pity, or no one to grieve



At least I’ve got that

In a matter so to speak

I’m now feeling cold

My body grows weak



An ocean of red saturates my sheets

The last thing I see

Is a loaded rig beside me



A detached amusement comes over me

Meeting my inanimate lover’s stare

Hearing him whisper,



“How do you dare?”

He can’t understand why it must be

That on a mere whim I decide I must flee



Leaving without so much as a single kiss?

All right very well one last high

This one will be our final goodbye



I’m wrapped in his bliss

I feel his hug

I am his princess

He is my drug



Slipping more and more into thick black mist

Unconscious before I become aware

Forever I’m in t reaper’s lair



So there it is, my final story, my final goodbye. My suicide letter/poem. Sadness and depression inflicted mostly on myself because I still haven't learned the lessons of the soul or people skills. That, I believe is my biggest problem. Still, I tend to be more the coward than the brave soul, and leaving has almost always come so much earier and more natural to me when life gets intensely difficult, or I perceive it as such. My first reaction is to leave instead of try and work shit out, because that's what I know how to do.

 
can you confirm for me please that the dat is read this means this was written a few years ago?

You have a knack with the pen, I like your writing style.
 
Yes it was written in 2003. When I feel like suicide, I write about it instead. After that, the feeling passes. Thanks for your kind words.
