Confessions of a sad superhero book 92

(The love I never had (a chance at)

 Just me and my cold coffee here.

They don't throw cold coffee away anymore.

Now they just package it and sell it.

I came in

even though I am feeling a bit under the weather

-couldn't really sleep today-

and its raining

I'm still here

With my big bad can of Lysol

As insane as it is 

Still thinking of him.

Trying not to think of him.

The one who walked away.

The one who said he wouldn't judge me

for my clutter.

Bought me a duster even

I guess that was a parting gift

even as the energy changed between us

and I could feel him slipping away.

Hurts like hell 

having to go thru the motions.

Same old story really

me falling for someone else

someone who all too easy can simply pretend that I don't even exist anymore.

Its tragic

living in this big bad city

feeling so totally alone at times.

How do people do that?

Just pretend someone doesn't exist?

How many others were there before me I wonder?

There might be others now to be honest.

There will come a day when I'm over him

and there won't be any going back.

He was yet another painful failure

a lesson.

I'm not calling anymore

Not staying late after work anymore

playing videogames like I used to do

because I just don't wanna see you anymore man.

I guess I'm not so good at rejection

like I'm not so good with people period.

Feels like you took out a part of me

and I gotta recover the only way I know.

Its gonna take some time.

(Excuse me while I go crawl up under a rock for a little while)

One day it won't hurt so much I promise you.

One day he might look up and see me on tv and wish he'd been more patient with 

this diamond in the rough.

It happens.

Until that day I hope I don't become 

like the same jaded cynical 

untrusting

emotionally distant folks 

who turned me away.

Please GOD don't let me become like that 

because I don't think 

I'm supposed to be that way...


(FIGHT KLUB)

They punched her

another cool person here 

assaulted

attacked by another member 

of the community we serve.

-Changed the video cam recording options too-

(Don't want our dirty laundry coming out?)

Sometimes it feels as if these kids hate us.

Just here 

tryin to do our jobs

trying to keep em safe

but sometimes I swear

the same ones we look after

Sometimes it feels as if they hate us.

Would they 

if they could for one day

walk in our shoes?

Call us

snitches

rent a cops

disrespect us all so much

and I swear I don't understand

why they hate us so much.

Is that the curse of wearing a uniform?

I can barely recognize my community anymore

so angry

so unforgiving

so lost.

Are the community leaders and politicians more concerned with lining those pockets?

Sometimes when I look around at the way things are

I find myself wondering

do they really care about us at all?

Who can teach these kids

a better way of life

a better way to solve the problems

without bawled up fists

drugs

selling the bodies

and all this maddening violence mess?

Is it me?
