a little angry letter

I want to scream, cry, tear at the fabric, bite the flesh that hurts me. I am fighting blind against enemies unknown, but familiar and all around me.

How is it that I feel so out of contol? Why is this feeling strangely familiar?

Not being told the things I should know. Being made a competitor in a game I don't want to play. No, your life is not harder than mine. No, the reason why I can manage to live day by day is not because I am privileged or lazy. I have no demons to play with. And that drives you fucking nuts.

I've had a hard day today, and the difference between me and you is that I wrote this little angry letter. And you? You just throw it all away. Soon there will be no one left to listen to you.

Thanks, Fi. It was. Nothing like poetic license to release the gremlins that lurk inside. I felt better soon after writing it all down. I am doing an experiment of not being too much in my own head and writing things down even if they pain me or I am afraid what others will think when they read it.
