"Par-delà toutes les raisons sociales et psychologiques que je peux trouver à ce que j'ai vécu, il en est une dont je suis sûre plus que tout : les choses me sont arrivées pour que j'en rende compte. Et le véritable but de ma vie est peut-être seulement celui-ci : que mon corps, mes sensations et mes pensées deviennent de l'écriture, c'est-à-dire quelque chose d'intelligible et de général, mon existence complètement dissoute dans la tête et la vie des autres."
Annie Ernaux, L'évènement

"Si je ne pensais pas que la mission d'un écrivain est d'analyser sincèrement ce qu'il éprouve dans les graves circonstances de la vie, et si je ne me proposais pas un but que je crois utile, je m'arrêterais ici, et je n'essaierais pas de décrire ce que j'éprouvais ensuite dans une série de visions insensées peut-être, ou vulgairement maladives."
Gérard de Nerval, Aurélia

Childhood



A very needy child, a very lonely child
Wanking down the hill, living in an aside,
Her mind wandering, blank-minded not blacked out.
Memory, Hope, Joy
Fading away, falling apart, blowing off.

She dag a big black hole into her heart to bury her secret deep inside,
But it had no bottom and the poison kept spreading
Into her whole body, irrigating her limbs, flushing her brain.
Rejection became her greatest fear.
Knowing her was hating her, the abnormal child,
Goat escaping in the mountain, messenger of a faded human race.
What she’s told worths nothing and nothing ever makes sense.
She slips in the sand, climbs in the sky, runs in the dark
Waiting for exhaustion but never getting to that point.

Longing for something to happen, for someone to come for her
Life goes on with its brightfull colors
But darkness lies deep inside, mean thoughts, a desire of hate.
She could build no suit of armour, nor carapace, nor shell, nor pod,
The angst remained, the fear, the gloom.
Broken from the inside, some kind of a monster is growing there.
She took loneliness as a painful refugee,
Living her life in disguise, always wearing a mask
Walking deadly alongside the moonpath,
Fearing that she could die of shame and desperation,
Filthy princess in the tower, soiled soul kept quiet. 
Guilt has rotten her from the inside, hidden conviction that she is pure evil.
She’s learnt to be proud of her fake strength
While something inside her keeps on threatening to collapse
But it never does…
Trying to hide her shame, she ended up hiding herself.

For years tears kept apart can never flow away freely
Then suddenly anger manages a way out
