Shadow am I!
Like a suspicion that's never confirmed but it's never denied
Wolf am I!
No, "shadow"
I think is better,cuz
I'm not something
more like the absence of something
So Shadow am I!

Fuck these thoughts.
Fuck that nagging suspicion that I have very little worth. That no one can see that I'm a human being that has value beyond what I can pay them, or what I can do for them. I say fuck it all.
A part of me wants to walk away from life.
Check out with the girl of my choice, my kids and gas money, and light out to the territories.
But fuck that.

I wish I could just face them head on. Not with words and bill pay arrangements. But with blows and acts of martial violence. How much more sense would the world make to me that way? But I don't have that liberty. Instead I'm taken to task by a world that I don't get, and don't really want to get. And my only option is to completely check out from the world and become some insane hermit/freeman on land fortified by guns and razor wire.
But that doesn't work when you have three kids that you love, and that you want to see live good lives. Hopefully even normal lives.
Fuck it, I'll just write about it.
Knowing full well that I have worth.
And that at least a few people see me as more than a pay cheque.

I've become a little addicted to your words, allowing myself a small dose every day or so. The way they ebb and flow, sparking little pieces of truth to dart through me. I hope you don't mind, it's almost a release to anguish with you, to accept that part of me that I usually work so hard to push way down deep. And you wrote the magic word...worthy, and I had to write yes, you are, keep writing.
That is one of the deepest comments anyone has ever paid me. Thank you!
