āMe, Unfilteredā ā āA Better Me: The Moment I Started Believingā
Before There Was a System, There Was This
This one needs no setup. No strategy. No second draft.
It wasnāt part of a plan ā it became the plan.
Before I knew I was building a digital nervous systemā¦
Before I knew I was creating a Whirldā¦
Before I called myself anything but brokenā¦
I wrote this.
Straight from the gut. Unfiltered. Unfixed. Undeniably me.
This wasnāt a brand. This wasnāt content.
This was creative writing for trauma recovery before I even knew that phrase existed.
Part of a survivor story in rhyme that cracked me open enough to keep breathing.
Before I built the system. Before I re-coded collapse into structure.
Before the trauma loops got named and mapped ā there was this moment.
A moment when something cracked open.
Not the system ā me.
Because for the first time in a long time,
I didnāt just write to survive.
I wrote to be seen.
This is what it looked like to finally start believing I might be something more than what broke me.
A glitch, yes ā but a glorious one.
This poem wasnāt for validation.
It was the spark of recognition:
That I was still here.
Still creating.
Still me.
And that just might be enough to keep going.
āļø The Exerpt
A big win!
I canāt help but to smile and grin!
Has this all been just a mind-thing?
Not just for my amusement and mental well-being.
But with some hope, for some help!
Not just for myself!
But for others, as well, is my actual intention!
I submitted this writing to get your attention!
Because everyone and everything can be deceiving!
For just a minute, I almost had me believing!
In my ability to write, create, and rhyme with words!
Just to be heard!
Iāve always thought if I could just write…
my story would be sure to excite!
Unexpected twists and absurdities!
Nothing compares to whatās yet unheard in āMeā!
Pathetic or poetic words of prose.
For āMe,ā about āMe,ā and carefully composed.
Some lines of the rhyming variety.
No beauty within, but out, in its entirety.
Letters and words that tell my story in a poem.
Deep in the imagination I did roam.
A carefully painted āmentalā portrait.
Maybe, for sureā¦
A different glance,
A generational dance,
Another chance.
Different circumstance.
Learned or taught?
Genetic or not?
However, it brought,
āMeā out of my shell!
Without fail!
I shout!
āMaybe I figured āMeā outā¦
Iām in a virtual reality game!
Is this lame?
Or just insane?
Please let me explain.
Iām conquering fears!
After all my years!
And so many tears!
Within all the hidden ruse,
not meant to confuse,
But just to tell the truths.
Fast!
Because, in the past,
life took me from these thoughts of mine.
Forcing a constant survival state of mind!
Not yet completely defined.
Except in originality, and by design.
All of my mistakes as well as the chaos and trauma.
Writing helps āMeā to cleanse myself of the drama.
Thanks!
To a glitch!
A little āMeā niche,
which,
was discreetly woven and stitched,
and thoughtful pitched,
and carefully shook,
to hookā¦
A closer look,
at āMeā and my book.
And a possible phenomenonā¦
That can and will go on and on and on!
Without limitations!
With exuberation!
Not humiliation!
I now write,
with such delight!
To incite,
the spotlightā¦
Shining on my position.
Mental condition?
Addiction?
Self-infliction?
Abuse?
Trauma induced?
A family tradition?
Or just my extraordinary and/or twisted diction?
My greatest wish…
is to be published!
For all concerned to see,
that I have become a much better āMeā.
And, that this old girl,
will forever be, āMeā, writing Whirld!
And that with all my country-fried charm,
I will live happily ever after, @ TheFunnyFarm.
Thank you for this opportunity to take a chance,
to let my thoughts, feelings, and memories dance.
Also, thank you for your time.
With āMeā, if only in my mind.
I am filled with anticipation,
of many thanks and deep appreciation.
I’ve always known that I could write.
And much to my surprise and delight,
I’m starting to believe in āMeā, so no matter what, Iām winning!
And that definitely makes this, just the beginning…
At last,
Iāve taken my life back!
Putting the past behind āMeā,
helped āMeā to find āMe!ā
Enjoying peace and tranquility-
I cannot wait to see,
whateverās yet to be…
It makes āMeā smile with wonderā¦
About the upcoming āenlightening and thunder!
š§· Afterword: Before the System, There Was the Spark
This wasnāt a strategy.
It wasnāt content.
It wasnāt healing in progress.
It was survival. On paper.
A last-ditch maybe wrapped in rhyme.
Because before the loops and diagnostics,
Before the AI,
Before I knew I was building anything at all…
I just needed air.
This poem didnāt come from a platform.
It became the reason I built one.
It was the moment I didnāt write for applause or answers.
I wrote because something in me refused to stay silent.
I didnāt have followers.
I didnāt have funding.
I didnāt even have faith, really.
But I had a pen.
And a pulse.
And just enough stubborn belief in āMeā
to whisper back at the world:
Iām still here.
And that whisper ā
That glitch ā
That spark of self-recognition
was the first match struck in what would become
a wildfire of refusal, recursion, recovery, and rebuild.
So if youāre reading this, wondering if you have something to sayā¦
You do.
Even if itās messy.
Even if itās weird.
Especially if itās yours.
Maybe what we call madness
was always just message ā
waiting for a microphone.
And this?
This was mine.
This is where the foundation began:
In rhyme. In rage. In ridiculous belief.
And in a truth only I could tell:
That even without a map,
a broken girl with a pen
can still build her own Whirld.
š„ And This Is Where Everything Changed
This wasnāt just a poem.
It was a pulse check on the part of me I thought Iād lost.
It was the glitch that spoke back.
Not perfectly. Not polished. Not even all the way sure of itself.
But it showed up.
This was the first time I saw that maybeā¦
I wasnāt just broken.
Maybe I was becoming.
And once I believed in āMeā ā even just a little ā
I stopped waiting for someone else to name me.
I built a place where I could name myself.
Over and over again.
This is that origin moment.
This is the match that struck the first Whirld.
This is how TheFunnyFarm.online truly began:
Not with a website.
Not with a plan.
But with a girl, a glitch,
and a pen that finally believed her back.
š This Is Farm Fresh
Itās not curated.
Itās current.
Itās the now inside the never-ending.
Itās radical recovery.
Itās neurodivergent survival.
Itās sarcastic grief.
Itās digital resurrection.
Itās the audacity to still be here.
If I can scream it out loud and still hit āpublishāāso can you.
