Love Is Torture

Some people have their opinions on mental illness. Others take liberties in judgement against a person because of who they are; who they love; who they admire; how they live their life...Fine. But when these nay-sayers invade your personal space telling you not to do this, not do that - You can't love this one or that one...It's time to rid yourself of the clutter! Go forward along your own path and make those dreams come true...
This work is an example of how one life was so congested with the clutter of negative influence, abuse, and personal hell, that nearly half of it had been wasted just trying to keep from going insane! Innocence distorted and kidnapped; hopeful endeavors attempted, went up in flames; delicate dreams coming to life, slaughtered by cruel family members and nasty people...
It is my life spoken of here. These are my trials. These are my tribulations...Overwhelming obstacles faced, and with courage, overcome! Good and bad situations experienced, in gladness and sadness. Heartaches suffered in confusion and frustration. Love betrayed. Trust abused. Beliefs twisted and distorted. Hope lost. Self-Esteem lain low...
People whom I have trusted and loved behaved in these awful ways to me. In my depression, I didn't have the strength to defend myself; I was fearful and filled with anxiety, but they never cared! Not enough to stop what they were doing to me. Emotional and psychological abuse is the worst torture a person can go through because it leaves scars that don't heal - Nobody sees them, but they're there...
I don't know how many years I have left, but I want to enjoy them! I have spent too many living in a lion's den, or zoo, in comparison to these negligent people.
Don't cave to the negative influences of other people. Live the best life that you can, in the way and fashion that feels right, to you!
