I’d forgotten what I wanted to say
I get distracted so easily
Even by myself
You see?
This morning I was a little out of it
I was really craving attention
I guess
I thought of hurting myself
Which means I had to look at my thoughts
Straight in the face and
“What are you
What do you want from me
What now”
Get to the root of the problem
What was I thinking about?
I was daydreaming
Again
Like usual
About mister fantasy
The beautiful man-thing
That helps me fall asleep at night
. . .
The trouble with him is that he’s
So
Rich
And
So
Everything
So
Where in the world would I meet a man like that?
In his building
And how did I get there?
Easy.
I was going to try and jump off the roof
Because obviously I have to traumatize this man
Because of course the relationship has to be toxic
Duh.
But the thing is
That
I
Am the main part of this fantasy
But
I
Am a real person
I
have a real family
that would be really hurt –
That feels offensive.
‘Hurt’ isn’t the right word.
I’ve lost family
I know what it feels like
It feels like hell
Every
Single
Time
I think about her
I
Can’t
Do that to my family
Even though
I know
The pain of knowing what they feel
Can’t hurt me if I’m dead
But still
I can’t
So how else would I get his attention
. . .
Even the man in my head
A fake man
A. Literal. Fantasy.
Can’t pay attention to me unless I hurt myself
How many thoughts went through my head just now
If only I could capture them so that
I could capture them on paper.
I’m so lonely!
No, I’m not.
I’m just bored.
I’m bored of the people around me who want my
Attention.
They’re not exciting like men are
No drama –
Well –
The drama is there but it’s stupid
I don’t want stupid,
I’m bored
I want . . .
ugh.
Attention.
From new people
From my family.
I get annoyed with myself when I get frustrated like this.
What else did I forget?
When you handwrite the word ‘lonely’
too quickly, it looks like ‘lovely’
My notebook says I’m so lovely! Haha. Weirdo.
