This is just something from the "diary" I keep. I'm not entirely sure what category this should be in, but it's true, so....


A darkness spiralling out of control, a feeling of wretchedness and self loathing.
A fear of what's to become of myself. A fear of what's not.
Someone once said that the scariest choice is usually the right one. It doesn't stop me being terrified!

I don't come from death and hate.
I don't come from fear and desolation.
I don't come from hopelessness.
I don't come from dark streets and cold rejection.
I don't come from abandonment, from hunger, from wretchedness.

I come from lower middle class.
I come from shared bedrooms.
I come from fish finger dinners.
I come from fairy tales, from childrens books.

I don't come from what my mother told me.

I am more than my rotting soul.
I am more than my wretchedness.
I am more than my stifled body.
I am more than my disconnected mind.
I am more than my oozing heart.
And I am more than my forgotten intellect. I am.
