The more I'm myself the less I'm with them. The more I'm myself the less I'm with them. The more I'm myself the less I'm with them.
Absolutely horrifying how growing into your own version of an adult has the dire consequences of not fitting in with your flesh and blood. I can be sitting next to them, dressed similarly (still standing out), but if you took out our souls you'd see only 9. I gave up my soul and lost my family in the process. I'm standing with the 10 and I'm sticking out like a sore thumb with my green hair and non-conforming clothes and thoughts that one would get killed for a few thousand years ago.
And they don't even care about all that but I feel out of place and my voice is not heard and I'm just standing and everyone is existing but I'm standing and standing and standing
And it gets worse every time, they don't change but I keep evolving and the change is hating me for my guts but my heart can not stop growing and it hurts it hurts it hurts
I could sit and talk about babies or God or about marriage. And I have not thought of any of that since the last time I saw them. If I would want to bring up a thought outside of babies or God or marriage, it would be me defending the thought against a group of almost 20 adults.
And I don't even care that I cannot say my thing or have to say their thing or just have to stay quiet, but I can't even sing or dance or exist freely bec I'm a girl and girls are meant to be not seen and not heard. I can dance and I can cry and I can do anything but hide away away away from people away away away from family and brothers and siblings and people you love but they can not love you the way you need to be loved
And I sit at the table listening to conversations I know far too much about and do not say a word. Because my words mean nothing because I was born with 2 x chromosomes instead of xy. And they sit and talk and I sit and listen and wish to laugh fully or sing fully but instead I sit and do nothing and drown my sorrows in the wine they graciously allow woman to drink.
I want to go. I know I will have fomo but I need to go bec I keep hurting myself by watching everyone having a good time but I am here and I'm sticking out if they see it or not. And I can sit but I can not talk and I can stand and stand and stand and stand and do nothing but help or play with the kids bec kids don't know why I can't sing or play or talk
It hurts
I want to smoke a cigarette while walking between the trees and it's so beautiful but my heart is full of hurt and disaster and loss. So much loss. I love my family dearly but I have said goodbye by living my life outside of their minds
And maybe I'm dramatic and they don't give a shit but also they are worried their kids will be bad if I say what I think and maybe they are worried that they will be bad if I say what I think.
And I wish he was here so I can be with him.
Actually I wish I was with him, anywhere but here where I can exist freely without feeling like my existence is not how everyone else's is.
