Rescue

Everyone wants to be rescued in some way, everyone wants to be taken away from something in their lives that haunts them, that keeps them from living the life that they want. Why do so many people want their rescuer to be me? Why do people have to look up to me? I am no kind of hero. I cannot save myself, what makes them think I can save them? I used to try to help them, but that failed. I did not help anyone. Why are all these eyes on me? I want to live the way I want, and do and feel and believe the way I want to. Does it make me a bad person to want to be left alone? To want to be myself instead of what they want me to be? I am tired of having to hide my true self because it does not agree with their lifestyle or their belief system. Why is everything I want and feel bad? If I am so bad, so evil then why do they still look to me for help? Why do they look up to me when they need me, but look down on me when they don't? If I save anyone I will save myself, not them. I do not want to be in the spotlight anymore. I don't want to be watched anymore.

I wish I may,
I wish I might,
Have this wish I wish tonight...
I wish to be left alone to be me, and accepted.

May I suggest a place where you can be totally alone and undisturbed?

It's 6"by2" and 5" deep.

I'm sorry, sorry, just kidding. But that's what my friend like to say to me whenever I say I want to be left alone...cruel her...but it makes me laugh all the time :-)
