A Letter From She Who Settled

My heart burns
I really hate myself... The life i am living isn’t mine, i feel like i took a step aside and let everything i like pass me by. I need quality time with the people i love but what i love they don’t care for... Every time i plan something, everything that's more important seem to come up and mine isn't given a 2nd thought. I feel caged. So intensely caged i am loosing my heart, my soul. I cry now more than before, because i settle.

When i love i give all and i wish one would just give me a treat once in a while to make me feel special. I wish we could do something from my list of fun things once in a while. But when i speak its directly archived. It will be done later, i come later. It's been 9 months since we did something i liked which was walking to Njoro and back. I keep saying what i like but it is for later. I need romance. I need to have happy waves in my relationship. Like get a gift very now and then, get taken somewhere every now and then, romantic acts in the house... And maybe once in a while do something from the long list of stuff that i said i would like to do over and over. I voice out everything i need but it’s almost never heard. I have to almost breakdown to be taken seriously. 

Why should one wait for me to hurt and suffer to do something? Maybe, i do come after everything else. Maybe i am not allowed to have emotions that's why everybody gets angry at me when i feel low or need them. And so i hide all that hurts me and become so depressed... And then it’s my fault that i am low and messing up everybody’s' mood. So i keep quiet even when i need help the most, even when i hurt so badly, even when i with my closest. Because i know he has something more important to do than talk to me or please me in other ways than physical or just make me feel like a queen. I am not feeling that right now.

I feel like a help, like a house help or something. Like i do, i help, i solve, i fight, i lift, i scrub, i answer... But i shouldn't expect the same. Maybe i shouldn't get to the level that i give. I wish i was a queen to one. And if i am already, i wish that one would just show it, act like it and not expect me to just know automatically because i don't know it and i don't feel it at all. I wish for mine to know me, and act as if they know me. I don't need to be treated like a stranger till i breakdown and then be all there when i am crushed on the floor. Picking me up because they know how to. Why not save me before i hurt? If one knows me, they actually know me, i don’t see why they can't avoid  stuff that cause me pain if they truly love me. Whole dance of pushing me down then picking me up will someday not work. One can be unable to pick me from the depth that i will have sunk, or maybe i will have had enough. I wish i was a queen and not a dusty pillar at the entrance of a handsome mansion. I wish i didn't come last almost always. Once in a while, let me come 1st, maybe on that romantic day or that dark night of the heart. Just to keep my 'happy heart' beating. I honestly have the least known amount of fuel for happiness. If one knows me well, one will know i struggle hourly to actually feel happy and make it last.


I wish one wouldn't think i am on a 'high hoarse' because the truth is that i am dying inside. I am still messed up and broken and completely damaged inside. I try to heal but i am way better at hiding it professionally and the one to help me stopped. Got other things that are more important and thinks i am a proud bitch looking down at everyone on my high horse. How am i supposed to be open if when i express how i feel this is the feedback. While i, myself i am so depressed and i have to wake up every morning telling myself that i will be okay, cooing and soothing myself the whole day through, just to feel like i should fall into the darkness and just fade away at night. How could i look down on others when i am sunk deep beneath the ground? But yet one, never notices. Why? I had once taken a significant healing step off my past and could talk and somewhat express how i felt verbally and timely, yet, now i have reverted to my younger self from my past where i can’t say how i feel. My closest shut me down when i try, or, just doesn't listen, or, hears me just so that i can shut up, or, listens to me and forgets as soon as anything, literally anything else comes to mind. One lives on as if i never said a word to begin with. At the same time it’s as if my non-verbal clues all go dead. Is it that one doesn't know me? Can't read me? Doesn’t care about what he sees? I just feel like 'that other person' whose life and feelings aren't that important. That have never been important.
