Anyone know matter the gender should understand these feelings.
I feel like I am always wrong.
I ask you, how are you?
You say alive.
Immediately my mind says, oh god same day as yesterday.
I grow quiet.
Always afraid in someway I am wrong, and you are always right.
These moods are a regular pattern.
My feelings, how I respond, your feelings, how you respond. Polar opposite.
When your angry, you take it out on me.
When I get frustrated, agitated, or feel overstimulated you can't respect I may need a nap.
You get angry with me, I feel discouraged and withdrawn.
I don't know how to respond when I feel angry inside.
So I just keep it inside, hoping it will disappear on it's own.
When I know it's normal, to go through this.

The Wolf And the Girl
I snuck away from my grandparents exploring my aunt's property. I loved the peaceful feeling of her land. It had been a while since I felt any peace. I kept walking around alone. In the wooded area I could hear soft wimpering as though a dog is in pain. As an innocent kid I never thought much of it. I have always had a love for animals. Simply, in my mind animals had this unconditional love humans didn't have.

Oh gosh I felt this in my soul. "You say alive" this response was so spot on. I loved this poem.
