  1. oh boy, time for an extremely tired Shortcake Vent-

    the following twelve paragraphs are from approximately 5 pm today.

    *internal screaming*

    ok, but actually, can someone tell me why the scudding frick frack freaking flapping flip do parents insist on ALWAYS getting the last word when an argument happens even though they are obviously wrong???

    and then they continue to try and prove you wrong and literally argue with your flipping emotions and twist your words and say that you assualted their mentality

    it hasnt happened today, but the police have been called on me

    i literally dont even know which thoughts and emotions are real anymore because they always end up being challenged by someone

    and to make things worse, im frickin horrible at reading social cues, so i can never tell what people's tones are when they talk (which is why i use tone indicators in a good chunk of my posts)

    someone was legitimately making fun of me today and somehow got a good chunk of the class to join in, and i didnt even realize it because i was just over in the corner being busy listening to the music in my head and getting lost in my own little stupid world

    and i didnt even find out until the teacher pulled me out during passing period to tell me. i had to pretend like i already knew just so i wouldn't cry. even though i ended up doing it anyway during the next class.

    WHAT THE SCUD IS WRONG WITH ME

    also i just finished eating dinner >_<

    i didn't really eat a whole lot though. again. basically all i had was an cutie clementine thingy, a couple bites of goulash, and a babybel cheese that was WARM.

    i had to use a not-thin fork. which was very ew. i hated it.

     

    the following four paragraphs are from approximately 9:30 pm today.

    WHY THE HECK does my family always accuse me of faking the fact that i have trauma from them and then when i point out the things they do that triggers me and brings me trauma flashes, they basically call me a fraud and a poser??

    LIKE, ACTUALLY???

    WHAT THE SCUD?!?

    and they wonder how im scudding emotionally traumatized?!?

    take a look at yourself and think long and hard about that question of yours.

     

    the following poem thingy is from approximately 9:55 pm today.

    Spoiler

     

    10 PM Spiraling

    it's 21:53

    and I..

    don't want to sleep.

    I just don't feel like sleeping.

    I should be tired,

    considering im running

    on very little sleep.

    I dont really know

    if im tired or not, but i

    dont want to sleep

    either way.

    granted, i dont think

    i know anything anymore.

    everything is numb.

    Not physically, just mentally and emotionally.

    Everything is a blur to me at this point.

    Every day is just

    another pain

    waiting to

    eat away at me

    at my soul

    if i even have one,

    that is.

    The little birds

    are screaming at me

    i can hear them

    but they're foggy, too.

    they seem

    distant.

    i

    seem

    distant.

     

    do people worry about me?

    If im not in my usual

    upbeat

    happy

    bubbly

    chipper mood,

    do they hesitate to

    joke around with me?

    to just be around me in general?

     

    there go the birds again

    giving up on me

    just like always

     

    they keeping chirping at me

    telling me to not take on such heavy burdens

    but if

    if i listen

    they'll be people

    that i could have saved

    like her-

    him

    Chloe-

    Charlie.

    my best friend

    crazy

    silly

    eccentric

    just like me

    and she-

    he-

    is gone in an instant.

    just

    like that.

    i could have saved them.

    i could have saved all of them.

    But i didn't.

     

    I didn't help

    the ones who

    truly needed it

    and because of that

    ive forgotten how to help

    at all.

     

    a little birdie once told me

    that if i didn't

    get my act together

    i would be leaving

    my home

    my friends

    my school

    my everything.

     

    I didnt listen.

     

    ended up being gone for over 6 months

    the worst 188 days of my life.

     

    Instead of spending it

    with family and friends,

    i spent my golden birthday

    in a psych ward.

    that i gathered zero benefit from

     

    they said

    we would never

    see the people in there

    ever again once we left

    the birds lied then.

     

    i see this one bird in particular

    every day at school

    in the halls

    messing around

    getting in trouble

    breaking things

    causing havoc

     

    has pink-ish

    almost maroon-colored feathers

    in an odd placement on her head

    looks similar to a raven

    very territorial

    tends to mock other birds

    very mean

     

    she learned how

    to make smoke rings

    when she got out

    of that hell-hole

     

    i keep thinking

    i'll wake up

    back in that dark room

    that connects to that dark hallway

    that is still somehow brighter than i'd like

     

    i keep thinking

    i'll never be the same

    the fun-loving girl

    who always seemed to be tinkering with something

    the girl with crazy ideas

     

    but i worry to much

    i should stop worrying all the time

    i want to

    i really do

    but i also dont want to sleep

    because i know

    that one of these days

    i'll be lost forever

    and no one will know where I am

    but they wont be too worried

    until the school intercom will come on

    ready to make the announcement

    of the fourth one this school year

    and then people will feel guilty

    whether because they think they triggered it,

    or because they didnt know what was happening

    or because they wish they could have helped

     

    but that not happening right now

    for now,

    i must sleep.

      *hugs* that's absolutely horrible, I'm so sorry you have to have that going on. Just know that even though your parents try to convince you otherwise, your feelings are completely valid, and only you can figure out what you feel.

      Sometimes being in your own little world is so freeing simply because you don't have to deal with reality. Reality sucks sometimes. Again, I'm so sorry you have to go through that.

      Wow I'm so hypocritical, I'm giving advice about the same things I have issues with and I don't listen to it
