me and december 05. 2013
i will become sleepy or without warning i will become unconscious for a minute or five and wake covered in sweat that could also be tears and my head will be heavy and i cannot hold it up as it rolls side to side and i look like i cannot decide on an idea – it is most likely accurate but really i just have more important things to worry about like staying upright and alive through the hour when anything could happen and would i even be aware that it is – or concerned with the consequence?
at some point i would be, but right now i am just detached and swimming fast in front of myself w/nothing to say because my mouth has lost all moisture and my tongue is a sand paper distraction that is sticking to the ceiling –
ready to be watered down and torn away when the circles relax and i am once again living like a somewhat normal human being i am fourteen years old again and in the gut of the psych hospital and i am not nearly the only one here who has just dreamed himself into a goddamn ugly panic –
i don’t know if i explained this to you before or if you even cared but right now i am crawling out of another dream just to arrive in a dark and lonely bedroom where i have stripped the sheets off of my bed and they are piled in the corner while i sit up, still talking to myself and pointing at important places in the empty air –
it takes minutes for the monsters to finally walk away – i am trying to hold on to any sort of detail.
i can’t remember it long enough to write it down.
i am not distracted. just broken and moving slow.
i am also really lost.
yes, that one too.
Don’t try to hold onto the details, at least that is what I try to do, let them dissipate into smoke. Although I understand the need to try as it maybe helps to feel I can control them if I only remember,,,,,but it is usually best if I can let it go away back down the dark passage without me….hoping you can get a restful sleep, hoping it gets better…..HUGS tight and strong
i wish i could be there to help you make the bed (you know how important that is to me) and tuck you in. and i would wait, watching you fall asleep so i could scare all the monsters away as they come – i am pretty terrifying, remember? and always ready for a fight…
