Description You send people to psychiatrist when there's nothing wrong with them, creating a placebo effect in the child's head: Is there something wrong with me? The child then acts like there is something wrong with them. They start to spill out the dark side. The side we all have. They think the child is crazy. You put the child on medication to solve the crazy. The child is now taking medicine for a mental illness that he doesn't have, while his mother spends money that she doesn't have on the medicine.
You tell me who is the enemy.

I know that this is old, but I keep coming back to it. It reminds me of this quotation:

β€œOne cannot long remain so absorbed in contemplation of emptiness without being increasingly attracted to it. In vain one bestows on it the name of infinity; this does not change its nature. When one feels such pleasure in non-existence, one's inclination can be completely satisfied only by completely ceasing to exist.”
-Emile Durkheim

So we're dark. We probably think too much. Nearly everybody has lost their way at some point in their life. We express it in different ways, and we deal with it in different ways. I can sympathize completely with you. Emotions are a taboo subject in my house. That's hard because I'm the sort of person that needs to be able to express their emotions, but I've found my way in friends and in poetry. Being sad doesn't mean that something's wrong. Sometimes you're just sad. It's okay, emotions are like tides. There are ups as well as downs, and both are normal.

You're right that it's a trait of the generation before us. But we're caught up in the middle of a modern revolution and our technology is developing faster than our beliefs. I bet she just wants to play it safe, because it can be scary to empathize with people. Sometimes it's scary because of what they're feeling, but mostly it's scary because sometimes you're projecting your own emotions onto them. But you, Steve, are fine, and you know that. You have a great attitude about it. Hang in there!

Yeah, it's just something dumb that happened which didn't need to happen.

Mr Steve, you are one of the most awesome people I know of!
You sound very solid to me! The more I read, the more I like you!
I'm so very sorry to read about this "Mother Business"....
I guess that She really doesn't know you, or understand you.
I'm so glad that you seem to have a grasp on all this! The only thing
that concerns me is your safety and well being. I want NOTHING bad
to happen to you! The world really, really needs a smart and caring
person like you! I admire your approach to everything! This "thing"
you wrote made me cry.....again! Your friends are so damn lucky!
"I am self-medicated with friendship and laughter"...Wow, that "got" me.

I am fine, really. And this is a reflection on a past event. It's nothing that happened recently.

I'm glad to read this! Yeah, I know you're alright...
I thought I remembered something of the past that you wrote.
You know Steve, I was thinking...When Mom is snooping around and
comes across one of your "dark" poems, I can see why it would' scare
the piss outta anyone who comes across it! Your writings are very
powerful at times. Surely you can understand how anyone who really
cares about you could misunderstand and get kinda.........concerned?
If it were me...I'd make damn sure NO ONE would ever find anything, or...
I'd write something very.....sweet and happy and semi-hide it so they would
find it......., but then, that's me. I had to be a sneak to "survive"
when I was young.

I am rather careless, I guess.

That's okay, I was an "escape artist" to
get people off my back.
Go ahead, try the "flim-flam" technique,
but make it look real.
it worked for me!
