normality is beyond us,
we are tortured by
the simplest interaction
Normal things cause us
pain, deterioration,
risk harming us severely
We need extra help
yet the price of help
is often too high
to pay
We cannot access it
for the people who would
help
would hurt us
with their unawareness
and lack of understanding
How can anyone truly
understand
how much pain they can
cause
when a whisper
drills into your brain and
sends pain spiders
crawling round your head ?
When any loud noise
is a torture that feels
like you are being hit
repeatedly with a
sledge hammer.
How can anyone
understand
why you can speak to
them but are
tormented
by the painful sound of
their
voice and the inability
to process and
understand
their reply.
The true reality of ME
is bizarre, disturbing
utterly horrifying
and frightening
as you descend into
physical and mental
chaos,
tortured by everything.
I doubt you can
comprehend it
even if you wanted
to.
There is an
impossible gap
between
your reality and
mine.
And that is why I
weep.
