Don't give them that power.

Hey you. I know some days seem bleak and dismal regardless to how you try to shake it. I mean it’s like you can’t do anything right, no matter your intentions or best efforts. It doesn’t make it any better that so many seem to not really understand how you feel. How closed off and isolated, pain every waking moment. It just keeps mounting, no path forward, like a wicked trap with no options out.

I get it. Can’t turn off the thoughts. They blare through, reminding you how much you don’t measure up, and fall short. Some people say they care, but they can't possibly get it. Plus, you don’t believe them…. They say it will be alright ... but do they know how much it hurts spinning in a circle, feeling worthless. It doesn’t seem real. Why smile? You’re not happy. No need to laugh… because nothing is really funny. DAMN can't they see? No feeling of joy. Can’t they sense the anguish …day to day struggle. It’s hard grudging through another day....they don’t even see you. They see an image transposed upon you. A painted fa?ade to the world. Disconnected… wishing you severe and fade away… like shades in respite and rejection. The hollow dripples your expected to embrace to be a part of a so-called social context.

It hurts…can’t recall when it didn’t. Hurts to endure another step. A path riddled. Your giving too much power to external noise. It blares loud can’t even hear. Blocked in, piece by piece, with each segment. Can’t center upon that voice… All the mean vial words shoved your way, drowns it out.

Want to Know something? You control this narrative. You give them them credence. Take back your control, by learning to recognize your value, loving yourself. That's what they don't want you to do. That’s why they try so damn hard to crush you at every corner, with each turn. That real You, terrifies them. They never want to know the true you…. They certainly don't want your in heart to be known. They pour venom in depictions. Still you don’t have to go along … You give them power… by living the lies portrayed for you.

You can claim that power. How? Just Stop. Stop trying to fit their model and mold. Stop giving into to false authority, false thinking, false righteousness. Stop giving in to what they tell you you are or should be. Their shallow assessments based in false self-aggrandizement… they're trying to force you into their box of control. You don’t have to get in that box. That’s your power… shut'em down. They can’t quantify who or what is valuable. They don’t have dominion. Yeah, they tell the world they do. And, at times it seems like they possess unlimited power… Truth be told, it is only based people submitting the lie, believing the betrayal. You shake your head, saying, they control so much. Simply put, believing they omniscient gives them control. Their control is empowered by what you acquiesce, following restrictive path laid for you. If you chose not to follow it, they can’t define your path forward.

Stop listening to lies, that you are undeserving of equitable treatment. When did they ever demonstrate an authentic value for other people anyway? Better yet, when did they come into control to define all existence? See that’s the lie at its core. They want you to believe they control all things. You've bought into a perception… going along. Stop giving them your power. Pivot by realizing your value… and magnificence. They fear how strong you will become. That’s why they don’t give you a fair shot. That’s why they psych you, forcing a cast image of inferiority. It’s why they spend so much time telling everyone and anyone that will listen that you are worthless. It’s opaque fear.

So, it’s time…time for you, to love yourself, recognize your value and stop trying to fit in that box (cage) they assigned. Break the chains of that scripted path. Step out the frame drawn …. Project your beauty and strength. Start working on you, and what you control. Raise your head, push back your shoulders, straighten your back and firm up your stride. Express that beautiful mind of yours. And Never, let hateful superficial people hold you captive. Break free and Do not waiver in the face of their threats. If they had it their way, you wouldn’t be here, you wouldn’t have taken your first breath. Against all the hate and hurt you shall rise above the shallow they heap upon you. Don’t allow them to steal the essence of who you as they attempt to place you in eternal subjugation. Don’t give them that. That’s your power.

They’ll keep lying. They want you to believe they are omniscience, omnipotent. They aren’t …. if they were, they wouldn’t fear your life’s narrative. JUST BEING ALIVE you are an imminent threat… They fear the depth of your brilliance. Brake those mental shackles used to subdue your soul.

So yeah… I know it’s hard as hell, fighting against everything. A social dynamic depicted to negate your existence…. an onslaught against your being. In the midst of that storm, be still, tap that inner spirit and …trust, know the strengthen of your spirit will sustain you against your abuser. They will never have complete dominance and control as they so desire.

Because bestowed upon you is a strength so vast it knows no depths. All you have to do is accept your inner heart which speaks in that still place, stepping up and out of the shadowy lies they cast against you, by expressing your True Self.

Take care.
