"Believe Them"

 

With trial and error...

We come to know the difference...

That lingering thoughts hold too many moments...

And when things do not add up within a situation, we must subtract ourselves

We don't owe anyone a version of ourselves that keeps them comfortable, and leaves us exhausted

Our current or past struggles are not our identity

We are not too sensitive or overreacting

If it hurts us, then it hurts...

You are the author of you

No one knows our entire story...

Yet, some claim to know us completely, just by some words or a few actions

They only believe the parts that keep them right and what helps them sleep at night

Because if they would understand the truth, then they would have to change something within themselves

It's easier for them to think something wrong, than to make the effort to stand up for another being

And our intuition tends to know...

Once questions begin to be asked, answers will always be sought

Reality bears truth...

Making this another very hard lesson learned within our life

That when people treat you like they don't care...

We unfortunately have to believe them...

Resort priorities when and as needed

Stop giving people so much power over you that their silence leaves you questioning your worth

Because the worst part of self-betrayal, is always putting somebody's feelings before your boundaries

And despite the thought process, most people need acceptance more, before condemning advice

Change will happen when chosen

Allow the release...

Fight to keep the wounds healed

Clear the unsolved and all that use-to-be

You've made the hard choices...

You've done the work...

Now protect what you have created.
