integration and disintegration

Posted by octopusprime on November 7, 2004, at 20:31:40

i found out today that an old friend of mine is married and pregnant, just about to give birth

i found out today that another old friend of mine is a suburban wife and soon to be soccer mom

i found out today that the guy i'm dating thinks that the pills i take for birth control and sanity are causing me to lack a conscience (he needs to be dumped)

i found out today that my mother is having trouble climbing in and out of the bathtub

i found out today that whipping cream tastes good in banana bran muffins

i found out yesterday that my sister dumped her boyfriend, and i did a dance of joy

yesterday i cried tears of joy
the day before i cried tears of frustration
and today i cried tears of frustration again

i wish
i wish i could integrate the disparate parts of my life together
i wish i didn't feel like a fragmented whole
i wish the different realities that i see didn't collide
and make me question what is the truth and what is a lie

i wish i could feel sane
i wish i could feel whole
instead i have nothing but a hole inside
where my guts have spilled out
from telling the truth and making the wrong choices

You should have posted this on babble writing. Your poem/post is very touching. I'm sorry that you have had so many ups and downs lately.

Birth control causes lack of conscience? What? I suppose in your boyfriend's eyes unplanned pregnancies and going to court for child support create conscience?

I don't know if he needs to be dumped, but he needs to get a clue. Hope that wasn't offensive, it wasn't meant to be. I used to work in communications in reproductive health care and I get on my soap box easily.

Hope things go better this week.

we need a lasso to reel in those ups and downs and force them to live peacefully together in us. my peaks and valleys are making me car sick.
