RE: Champagne Stories and Forgotten Shadows

What can I say? Most likely you already know the answer.. it's fake, keeping up appearances and like you I don't hate any season or celebration but it's difficult to celebrate, feel happy if you are the ugly duck, the unwanted, the hated person, the 5th wheel or whatever you like to call it.

Is it possible to celebrate one day for real? I can only answer for me... it's no. There will always be some little or big cloud hoovering around, the only exception might be the peaceof a safe place and the fact you can keep the door shut.

Your poem reminds me of the the fairy tale of Hans Christian Andersen, my favourite since I am a few years old. I know yours is kind of the opposite but the result is the same.

Sort:  

The one time I celebrated at church years ago, I ended up crying throughout the Christmas mass. It was actually quite embarrassing because I started crying in the middle of it.

I was just so overwhelmed by the fact that, for the first time in decades, I was finally able to celebrate in peace.

I wonder which fairy tale you had in mind? I was actually thinking of The Little Match Girl when I wrote that.

I doubt it's embarrashing if you cry in the church. During the mass more people will and with us there are hundreds of people. No on cares.

That's the story. It's obvious you had that in mind.
