kiddo went to a birthday party at pump-it-up, the inflatable place, in the glow room no less. she had a blast although she got hit in the head on one of the slides and there was some friendship drama. dropped her off at the ex's apt afterwards, and the former mother-in-law was there. we hugged and i left and that's that. i hope my daughter isn't too emotionally drained after all the carting around and promotional tours of duty that they'll be putting her through this weekend. what's funny is, to all those nameless family members, it'll be as if my ex has been a parent this whole time, which is not even remotely the case.
she texted me at some point to ask if i was busy, and i just ignored it. i don't need or want her drama anymore.
My heart and its ticking sound
My pain insists on sticking around
I must eventually learn to adapt
This old house has me trapped
Or maybe it serves as a cocoon
A negative rebirth will hit soon
Pry open this big coffin one day
There's nothing else left to say.
