a childhood memory

(6/4/24)

i knew there was a time when i’d scrape my knees and i would patch them up myself sitting on that cold bathroom floor i’d still like to think that iodine doesn’t burn and that the pretty character plasters hid the truth but it’s all wrong when i crumble and cry there are no warm enveloping arms to hold me and all hope is lost in being loveable

memories are shards of glass

incomplete and sharp enough to cut

I keep them in the black box

that survived the wreckage of myself

only pulling them out when

when I want to torture myself

or make sense of what happened

or both

a few I've sanded down the sharp edges

so I can pull them out and show them off

knowing they'll never fit with the rest now

knowing they never did

this one is oblong, a deep jewled tone

it scatters light with the peel of a child's laughter

I'm four at my grandparents house

Mallory, a doll, is loaded onto a towel

chubby arms spread wide to hold frayed terrycloth

with a yank, an old man and young child

launch the doll to the ceiling

the two generations yell "splat!"

and the child falls to the ground

consumed in giggles

another is very nearly round and clear

by number the of times it's been taken out and examined

a fragment of a fragment really

it holds the rudimentary conviction

that the child was biologically incorrect

and a clear eyed determination

that no one would find out

still more held up as pretty baubles

a few childhood bedrooms

a school day ending with a nose in a book

an endless string of report cards with nearly perfect marks

oh, don't— how did that get out here?

mind the edges

they're sharp

a child telling a joke

cut off by father saying

"if my kid ever smarted off to me

I'd [inflict violence]"

and every other adult in the room laughing

here let me take that

I think— I think that's enough for now

no, no, I don't need—

I've gotten good at patching myself up

only, would you mind holding the bandages?

oh, no, no of course not don't trouble yourself

of course, yes, I understand

it's completely normal to be squeamish around blood

I'm sorry for bothering you

you needn't worry

I'll only be a moment

When I was a kid, there were these old pipes that went nowhere sticking out of the ground near our house. I was convinced these were entrances to the houses of little magical creatures that lived underground. I often send them little "gifts" like dandelions for their salads.

ID: a four panel comic. In the first panel, a wolverine pops his head into the frame, looking concerned. a cat sits on the floor holding a book and wiping away a tear. The wolverine asks “what’s the matter, My? You’re crying!” The cat replies “I’m okay, dad… I just finished reading 1984.” In the next three panels, they hug. The cat asks “is that really our future? A surveillance state with no way out?” The wolverine says “oh, honey… that’s not our future, that’s our present!” The cat starts crying again and screams “AAAAAAAUHUHUHUU” End ID.

It's always infuriated me hearing people say that children have it easy. It's only gotten worse as I've gotten older and have been able to reflect on my childhood and see the children around me grow up.

They do not have it easy. They don't get a say in most important things. They're seen is unintelligent, yet expected to understand things that full grown adults struggle with.

They've got a job, which is school, that is actually proven to not be working for a lot of them; myself included. They're expected to sit still and in silence for at least forty minutes at a time, and those with ADHD are treated as though they're immature and lazy because they often physically can't do it.

Far too many of them have abusive parents that lie through their teeth to make people think everything is fine, and of course, who would believe the child over the parent?

Aspects of abuse has been normalised. Parents are sympathised with when children open up about the things they've gone through, especially if they're not physical. They're told that their parents are only doing this because they love them, or that the child needs to start seeing things from their point of view. Meanwhile, adults can freely complain about their children on public forums and to friends and family and get away with it because "it's hard being a parent".

Fuck off and do better.

DNI Believers of narcissistic/borderline/anti-social/histrionic abuse.
