I can be tenacious when I want. Ask the few people who have worked me up to the point that they beg mercy for me to let them go.
They wish they never started the game, if you could call it that. However, once you get me going to that degree, you made your bed and you lie in it That is my mother’s favorite saying. She said it when I fell down or made a mistake.The point was that I should suffer to my grave and she would be happy for it.
If I get off on my missteps, it will be a whole other story. For now, I am trying to tell you how I became bad. First of all, I stayed good for a long time. It was pure tensile strength. I was normal. What is normal? It is accepting what is without putting a lot of fluff on it. By that standard, I was normal However, I despised my mother.I could never despise her in peace because I pitied and I loved her, too.
My mother looked goofy. She was too tall. She wore weird stretch pants. Her feet were huge but in all her goofiness, I loved her. I was her doll. She doted on me but she hated that I was her doll, too.
My love for her was like that for an animal who bites you but you can’t get rid of him. People tell you to take it to the pound but you don’t.I was like the victim of flesh eating bacteria. I lost fingers and toes and then limbs. Finally, I was just a torso like the person who is born a monster.
I raised my hand to the sky and begged God to show me reality but nothing happened so, I decided I must be crazy. I threw myself away the way you would a bad set of clothes that got so dirty in some unseemly way that you throw them out the car window or into a dumpster behind a restaurant.
I became the sanitized version of myself like a smutty song that they want to peddle to kids. Likewise, my life became grey. I could never make the grey go away no matter what I did. I tried everything from bad things to good things from the nun version to the wicked version but the grey remained.
With it came a cloying sadness that mixed with the grey and made mud that surrounded me like Pig Pen’s cloud. It was indelible mud, such that it sticks to your soul.
I slunk around like an animal who hides during the day and comes out at night to gorge. I held on for dear life because the abyss was opening and grinning. I fought it because I was loved once, a long time ago.
My grandmother died when I was pregnant with my first child. I was six weeks pregnant when I went to her funeral. I was sick from the baby but did not know, so thought that my heart was just broken and it broke my body, too.My grandmother loved me.. That love was in my heart like indelible ink, the kind used for a tattoo on your chest of your girlfriend or your mother. At her funeral, the casket was so small. How had she become so thin?
She must be the Saturn trine Moon in my chart. I am an earth void, so walk never being able to touch the ground, but love kissed me with a kiss that lasted through the ages. Love will do that. Don’t forget it.
