do not mock me.
anything i have been through is not for you to mock.
all the pain and heartache and all the other things you have no clue about,
they are not yours to poke fun at.
only mine too pull apart and dissect.
don't even think for one moment that my suffering is yours to take on and throw at me like knives when it's most convenient for you.
do not mock me.

I'm having those three am thoughts at midnight. It's like someone is reaching in through my ear and grabbing my brain, pushing and compressing it against my eye sockets so that my eyes blur. I'm having those three am thoughts at one am where the devil reaching up from under my bed and he is grabbing my wrist shaking my body over and over. He is pulling my hair and pinching my sides and making every sinful flaw I have stick out in my mind. I'm having those three am thoughts at two am, the time when I plug in my lights because suddenly I'm afraid of the dark. When all my darkest thoughts come to life, dancing on the walls in shadows of pain and misery. I'm having those three am thoughts at three am. I'm having those thoughts that make me do things I don't want. It's that time when all of the three am thoughts compile together to make the biggest three am thought there is. I'm having a four am thought at four am, and I'm regretting every three am thought that I had that night. Because if I knew what my four am thought would've said to me then all those three am thoughts wouldn't have happened; and maybe I wouldn't have destroyed half of portfolio because I couldn't see where I was going, or because the devil on my shoulder said the angel took a break, or because I needed scrap for my fire because my lights were broken. I would have my four am thoughts at every hour if I could, but because of my three am thoughts I feel as if they're the only thoughts I'll ever have.


Oddly enough I think I might be okay with that.

I want to **** myself, but I won't. Because I no longer think that suicide is a house that I want to build some day. I'm fine with this beaten down house at the moment. I like the fact that the linoleum in the kitchen is ripped and I like that if I step on certain spots in the living room, it creaks so loudly that it would wake my mother to have her stop me from doing whatever I decide is fit for that night. I like my wallpaper that you tried to remove so now it's just peeled half heartedly. I like my porch where I receive 99.9% of my splinters. I like the garden gate that I once tore my arm open on. I like my beaten down, busted up, ugly, pathetic house. I don't think I'm ready to build that big, beautiful, shiny mansion that everyone paints as horrible. I don't think I'm ready for mahogany tables and crystal chandeliers. I'm not ready to have the spiral staircase or the beautiful attic view. I wish I was but I'm not; and as you once told me "You will want to **** yourself, but you won't, because you no longer think of suicide as a house you will build one day." Don't you worry, these carpets still have a lot of room for stains. How hard is it to get grape juice and salsa out of a white carpet again?
