Aunty D. Is a Funny One……

There are those times in all of our lives, where we feel like we haven’t seen her in such a long time.

There are some times, you haven’t seen her in such a long time, you don’t even remember what she looks like.

It is usually around that time, she decides to come over for a surprise visit, she’s a funny one, that aunt D.

She can come to you while you were having a great day, then you lie in bed and her ugly face shows up again.

Or sometimes, just when you feel like you cannot bear her company anymore, she gets up and leaves.

But in the back of your hopeless mind, you know she will return one day, she’s a funny one, that aunt D.

She has the power to ruin it all, when she’s there, she drives you mad, when she’s gone, you are simply awaiting her return.

Sometimes you feel like you want to kill her. With poison, pills, a noose, a gun, your car, a plastic bag, or a final jump.

But you realise she is a part of you, and in order for her to die, you must die with her.

And you wonder, is she that bad she deserves to die? Or is she still worth living for?

She’s a funny one, that Aunty D.
