Viola sighed as she curled up into her bed. Another
dark and dank day. Another day where she was sure she couldn't get out
of bed. Everyone that knew her was sure she had depression and probably
a severe kind at that. Viola had been to doctors all over, and they
had all told her the same thing. She's just a teenager and it was
just hormones. But hormones never did things as major as never wanting
to leave the house.
And so, Viola stayed curled up in bed, praying to
whatever god would listen that the night would come soon. Viola
was a night person. She loved the night and all that went with it.
The late night movies, the talk shows. All of the shows that had
the
racy and foul language that they would never show in the regular day
time. At night she could do whatever she liked. She could delve
into her insanity with no problems at all. And that was another problem
with Viola. She truly believed she was insane. She knew she
was insane since practically day one. It was in her blood, it was
who she was. She could identify with anyone that was always oppressed,
or insane. They were her people. They were who she was. Viola
sighed as she closed her eyes and imagined Norman Bates holding her tight.
Perhaps she had seen the Psycho movies one too many times, but she could
imagine Norman, in his suit holding her tightly as they lay on a motel
bed. Too afraid to kiss, too afraid to go any farther, they would
lay there and hold each other tight, there heads over the other's shoulders,
hoping that their own troubles would pass. Finding a solace only in each
other. But unlike Maureen, Viola swore she would never leave Norman.
Not now and not ever. But as Viola slowly opened her eyes, she realized
there was no Norman Bates holding her tight inside a motel room.
There was only herself lying on her eggplant bed sheets praying she was
someone, anyone, than herself. Viola never liked herself. She
never liked_well, anyone. And more or less likely, Viola found she
was never quite right with anything. Whenever she spoke, no one understood
her. And whenever anyone spoke to her, she never understood them either.
She was alone in a silent world, and yet everyone was always so darn noisy!
Out of all the things Viola hated, it was the noise. The horrible noise
that everyone was always_talking, always singing, talking, and loudly.
Viola hated loud. Loud was probably the most annoying thing ever.
Viola sighed once again. She was alone, and
destined to be alone forever. Especially when boyfriends always broke up
with you because you were too quirky and obsessive. She began to
cry, softly at first and then gradually louder.
"God dammnit!" she screamed. Her anger coming out in that soul and
only word. And she knew as she thought about writing up her words, her
thoughts and giving it to someone, that wouldn't like it, or even read
it. Even for other people, her chastity was defyingly evil.
