Locking myself away, hoping for the world to quiet down.
Hoping for a new body, or a new mind, or preferably both.
The days blend into the doldrums of a windless ocean
It is here I sit
Looking for some degree of change.
Mostly I just want to be left alone, yet in today’s world this is an impossibility.
Surrounded by the motion of people spinning circles. We are all looking for meaning.
I know where happiness exists, I just don’t exist in it.
And from behind this window of discontent I sit and rot.
A mind wasting away, typing hear on this plastic keyboard.
I am sick of people, honestly I just want to be alone.
Yet in this feminine world, where social is the only “true” path to enlightenment. Quiet solitude is not allowed.
In the hills where I chose to run, there is no hiding.
Dirt, trees, the smell of fresh air, hidden from a job, from time from the responsibilities that are nothing but dead useless weight.
And then there is this face, this ugly disgusting hideous face.
It doesn’t deserve to be happy, it deserves only to be locked away.
Here the monster can not be unleashed, here my wife doesn’t have to touch it. Or see it.
Probably here, everyone is happy.
In the Cave, below the many hidden levels of discontent.
his is a wonderful book! Written by the Director of the MGH OCD and Related Disorders Program, and Founder of the Body Dysmorphic Disorder Clinic, this book offers individuals suffering from Body Dysmorphic Disorder with critical tools to understand BDD and to bring their disorder under control. The step by step approach detailed in the book is exactly what is needed for patients and clinicians alike. I have enthusiastically been recommending it to all of my clients who have BDD, and to colleagues interested in learning more about it. This book offers new hope to the millions of people worldwide who live with this troubling, but treatable disorder.
