Disagreement Within
Why must we always sit here in the dark?
Because its a boundary but why should you ask?
Always at night I do as you tell me.
You talk too much; just sit and let me be
Why do you hate me, despise me so much?
Because youre the doer, the invalids crutch.
Ive never achieved what was expected of me.
Thats why I hate you, you just cannot see
I tried to do well but nothing fell right.
Thats down to me, I distorted your sight.
Why would you hurt me and let me feel pain?
Because its the path to feel sane once again.
Theres never a day when I dont feel the loss.
Our parents, sister, you still bear their cross.
We should have done more and helped in some way.
We did all we could at the end of the day.
I never cried you know when father died.
To do so would be as if you had lied.
I let them all down with this terrible life,
No children, no house, not even a wife.
Why do you always put your life on trial,
You DO have a life, youre just in denial.
I cant talk to you more because you dont hear
Its you who wont listen because of your fear.
I hate myself and all that Ive ever done
So you tell me now youve never had fun?
But what of the expectations we had?
Were healthy and living and still youre sad
I know its irrational but I just cant let go
And thats why recovery comes ever so slow.
I hate you too you know, youre always right.
You know that thats wrong; its just that we fight.
The sun was now rising and the room filled with light.
He drew back the drapes and let in the day.
The other had melted away with the night
His constant other self who never went away.
He dressed and decided what he would say
At therapy which he attended that day?

Magnificently crafted and very telling, very personal. How confusing and conflicted, to be in two minds and to find a place to hide blame away or to, in good faith, find the cause of it all.
Keep the process going. The best thing is to be honest with yourself and to maintain a balance between selves until/unless you realize one is more "right" than the other. Good luck, keep healing. Thanks for sharing. |

Ahh! The constant and extremely passionate wrestle that you have with yourself seems so necessary at this stage.....
"The sun was now rising and the room filled with light.
He drew back the drapes and let in the day"
....... This is GOOD!!! You are starting to let people in.... I admire your spirit, it's essential for your progression x
