I’m closing my eyes, tightly squeezing my eyes shut

and looking for myself .

Somewhere in this darkness, as the color behind my eyelids changes from green to purple to black

I will find the girl I was before you changed me into the woman you wanted.

Do you think I’m asleep?

 

I live my life in the night behind my eyelids.

My world exists here, I exist here, you do not.

 

My friends are here, friends you would have no part of.

I have money here. And security.

I travel. I write and paint.

 

My house is open. It’s sunny and airy and inviting and casual and it’s all the things I am and you are not.

And it’s mine, not yours.

My time is mine, not yours.

My thoughts are mine, not yours.

My days and nights are mine, not yours.

 

Behind my eyelids my world is amazingly beautiful

And you are never invited there.

    Hello catch22, secretlife, and twylarants. My gosh, are you the 300 people who read this?
    I've never written or talked about this side of me, this personal life I live in my head, to anyone before now.
    I'm very sorry you understand what it means, secretlife.
    I'm glad this place and you all are here.

    In my dreams, I am young and beautiful, full of laughter.  My life is happy and I am loved by those around me.  I'm loved by those he would never accept.  I am in MY home, with MY things, living MY life.  I dance and sing, I work joyfully.  I rest well, live well, laugh often.
