Sometimes I find myself still struggling to acknowledge the things that suck, that upset me, out of a fear of upsetting others. But what an injustice it is to silence my own experiences just so others can enjoy theirs. So here I present to you the things that suck, that upset me, even though they’re unfavorable and some might find them ugly.
Terrorists
Co-parenting with a narcissist
feels like
negotiating with terrorists
that insist they aren’t terrorists,
calling you a terrorist
as they actively terrorize you
but use this argument as leverage
saying its a negotiation
but accepting nothing less
than full belief of their lies
dismissal, belittlement of your protest
don’t you dare share your experience
after all, they’re the victim
and you just need silenced
be a good girl, they say
and show me your compliance
because no matter your truth
my plan is to keep lying
Much love, until next time.
