Takes one to know one

My mother always told me he was a narcissist, while explaining to me what the term meant.

Until I did my own research

only to realise she was describing herself, without even knowing

Lessons never meant to be taught

She was his first, he's favourite and he showed it proudly. The way he showed pride in his first car.

Up until he replaced her with another. Oblivious, the fact that he was teaching her from a young age

that it was fine for her to be

treated like an option, and not a priority.

Like a ragged, old doll that could be replaced when a new one arrived.

Up until she found a man that did

all this, and her father could not stand to understand her logic...

The same logic he had planted in her developing mind.

Be careful

And then she became the woman he unconsciously molded, at the end, he could not handle the nuclear weapon he had created

Confusion

She confused; Possessiveness with Protectiveness. Not understanding the

difference between a knight in shining armour and the collector of precious ornaments

And that is when

It was the day that you said; ‘sorry’

and she said;

“Don’t be. It's my fault, I allowed you to do this to me”.

It was as clear as crystal, that she had stopped thinking of you and what your emotions would be, and started placing herself first.

Empty promises

You told her, you loved her unconditionally, yet you gave her ultimations.

You said you needed her, yet you pushed her away when all she wanted to do was show you she cares.

You promised to soak up her tears with your perfumed shirt, as she laid her head on your chest, yet you're the reason for her silent cries when her head hits the pillow.

You promised her forever, but how could you, when you barely believe the words that dripped from your very own lips?

when fantasy is better

She escapes her reality by reading.

Turning fiction pieces

into her new reality, the ability to

live millions of lives

other than her own, one filled

with challenges, heartache

and sorrow. And when she

is not reading,

music allows her to create her

own perfect reality within

her already complex mind.

mind of its own

Telling myself to speak my mind

when I'm upset

about something,

is like giving me the

key to a vehicle

and telling me to drive.....

There’s one certainty we

will crash, but I don't know if we will

survive the impact.

Challenge

a liar you chose to love

who in your personal life is an absolute full on liar you choose to love and why?

RED FLAGS

He’s name was Danger, yet I found myself

drawn to him.

Nothing with him was ever what it seemed.

Laughs were unexpected but so was the

heartache that broke me down to my core.

Yet, when the tears ended I would end up

wanting more...

More of him, the boy whose eyes hid millions

of secrets, and could look straight through me.

Yet, still in the most uninviting moments, there

was no other place I would rather be.

BROKEN

Remember,

it's okay to fail, as long as you don't give up.

The only true failure that ever existed was the

one that stopped trying. Failing doesn't mean it

will never happen, it simply means you have a

few more lessons ahead of you before God can

fully open that door for you.
