Sorry another one, i just feel very out spoken to night and like venting sorry. On the outside we are smiling, We look the way very family should, A dad (who hits and yells), A mom (step mom who slept with daddy behing mommy's back and used to be her best friend), A sister (who is so drugged up she doesn't know which way is up any more), A little brother (who at the age of 9 has seen it all), We live in a big house, In a big neighborhood, With lots of other 'pretty people', We all look normal, Everyone thinks they know how happy we are, Because on the outside we are smiling, But they dont see the fighting, The yelling or the hitting, They don't see step mom and sister's cabinet full of anti-depressents, The don't see little brother hidding in the closet waiting for the fighting to stop, They can't see the cat daddy killed to make the first mommy upset, They can't see all the places the bones have healed over, All these people see are an "All American Family", With a BBQ every summer, A SUV and a big pretty house, They see the honor student, The Vet and the computer specialist, They see the 9 year old who is going to skip a grade, But they can't see what is on the inside of the box, What's underneath all the false smiles, Under the plastic kisses and hugs, They don't see the blood stains on the carpets from the last fight, They see wine from a spilled glass, Or is that one ketchup from a dropped hot dog, Those holes in the wall are from moving in, Not from daddy missing sister when he went to hit her, The broken stair case is from sister falling down it, Not from daddy throwing her down it, You see on the outside it is so pretty, But underneath all the lies, It lookes something like a rotting plie of black flesh, Yeah it really is that ugly here on the inside, And no matter how hard I try, I just can't seem to untie the ribbon that holds me here, Inside my own pretty little box, "I'll build a wall if we can keep them on the other side"---NIN "There is no always forever, just this"-the cure |

If all that is going on in your life I could see why you would need to vent. If you need a listening ear, email me anytime. |

Ginners..This was a hard read  Sorry you have to be living in a situation like that... It tough,Keep your chin up, And work on being you.... You express your feelings beautifuly with your words...keep your pen in your hand and let your frustrations and worry's out on paper.. Like i said if you need to talk Drop me a line*S* Temptress*Moon I slept and dreamed that life was beauty was thy dream then a shadowy lie? -ESH- |

Ginners - if this is your life you have written here then I actually understand. I grew up in a home of violence and fear. Once you leave it you take the patterns of survival you have to cope with you. Consequently - I get very very angry sometimes, very cold to those I love - very hostile. But the main thing is to keep surviving, because once you leave, as you will, you have your own path to follow, with your own dreams to make. Seriously - if you want to talk about this or anything else - email anytime at all. Hugs K ...and I have found that a lifetime can be lived in one moment... T.G.M. |

I can see enough to realise you should open the pretty little box and be yourself and what is inside that box is pretty too. It may not feel that way a lot of the time, but it is... Be yourself hon, you have conquered the rough start, don't let the memories win, after all, they are ONLY memories and shouldn't affect you today and tomorrow....
