What do I do with this Rage?
Day 416.
Just back from therapy.
I thought I had nothing to say, but guess what - I did. I do.
I was stuck, touchy, poisoned.
Should I not be able to recognize this by now?
This is anger, rage, ....and I don’t know where to put it.
I don’t know where to start.
To be angry would be to blame.
I don’t want to lash out.
What good would that possibly do?
But I am full of rage. Like a cat, trapped.
Is this my ‘Black Swan’ emerging? The black swan in me that I fear so?
This anger will not give me what I want. It will never bring Luke back.
To be angry at others is to blame. That is pointless and not the way this is.
To be angry with Luke frightens me. I am afraid that I will scare him away.
Instead I focus my rage on me.
The very thing that I was afraid of, that January day when I agreed to stop testing him, has happened.
I regret that moment. Did I choose wrong?
Was that the very action that killed him?
The desperation drops into my heart, the tears fall and I give way to sobbing as I recall this pivotal moment. I hate myself.
The hell in which I live, I cannot sustain.
I must be brave and purge my rage to be free of it.
First to purge in private, as it will surely emerge in blame and uncontrollable fury towards those I feel contributed to Luke’s death.
Maybe only after that is out, will I be able to let the anger form into an energy to plough on.
So, who am I angry with?
I will write letters to each and every one of them.
Letters that I will not send, but letters that will send a message to them via the cosmos that they may hear without the impulse to defend, so that they may think differently next time they meet a boy like Luke.
I may not be right. But that’s not important.
I must purge to save myself.
Let’s start the list.
