The View from the Ground

My therapist told me it might make me feel better if I wrote everything out so I decided to make a blog that nobody would notice.  I'm so tired.  Things have been bad at home for so long that I can hardly remember it being any different.  I got involved with an online roleplaying community as an escape from everything and met the most incredible people.  I spent months there almost every minute I wasn't at home, asleep, or at school.  I even fell in love.  It was like a faerie tale come true.  The trouble was that I brought all the poison and weight and rot and disgusting from home with me and by the time they got to know me I had brought them all down.  For a while I thought I was able to hold up my boy and make him feel like he is the amazing boy he is.  I had a best friend that I thought I could do the same for him.  Then I found out one day that all I did was hurt them both.  I feel like I'm part of Silent Hill and there's all this black sickness attached to me that spreads to them when I get close.  I feel like there isn't any hope for my life and it's just gonna hurt everyone if I try to get close. 

I'm working with a therapist once a week and seeing a therapist with my mum every other week.  I go to a group for teens with depression once a month and another for people who have suffered sexual abuse once a month.  Things have gotten bad enough at home that I finally had to go.  I'm staying with a nice couple in Paddington.  I'm taking the rest of the school year away but they tell me that they can get it straightened out before the fall and I should just focus on my recovery and doing the work they give me.  I feel a lot like I'm a robot.  I don't think much on my own and just do what I'm told.  I like it here with my foster family though.  They don't want me to spend so much time on the computer but I don't talk to anyone so it's not a trouble.  My mum seems like she's really trying but I don't wanna go back.  It's quiet here.  Everybody talks and I feel like I can say things without getting bludgeoned with them later. 

I miss my boy.  I really thought that by some magic we were gonna get to spend our lives together.  Now he doesn't even want to know me because he thinks I'm a liar.  I guess I am.  I knew what it was like here and I pretended like things were gonna be okay.  I broke his wings so he could keep me company on the ground.  I still carry a heart for him.  I'll never forget him.  No matter what happens in my life he is gonna be my love.  I miss my best friend too but he was drowning from being pulled down by the weight of all my damage.  I don't want to keep hurting him either.  I think it's better if I'm just alone unless I ever learn what it's like to be around normal people. I don't think I know what normal people are more than knowing what an animal you see in a zoo is like.

I don't know what I wanna do anymore.  I don't know what I wanna do an hour from now.  I don't know how I broke so hard but I need to focus on learning to stand up again.
