Walking down the stairs
Tried to help out someone who
Ignored me for a year
Regulate your kindness!
Coming back from lunch
Accidentally cared for someone who
Screamed at me in public
That is too much empathy!
Lowered my values
To understand the mind of someone who
Turned out to be a narcissist
That's your trauma pattern!
Voiced out my needs
Just to get pushed over by the people who
I thought were my friends
You see it made you stronger!
Kept giving love
And all I got was envy from the people who
Make me hide my happiness
You need to stop overthinking!
Who has to stop?
I regulate my goodness for the people who
Perhaps don't deserve another chance
You read too much philosophy!

this deserves gold .. I hope others will now visit in my wake .. not after it ..
😊
Beware of narcissists, I would say and give of yourself to those who deserve your kindness. Most people are decent. Then there are the others. A great read Alan. Happy Tuesday.
Happy Tuesday, thanks for your reflection 😊
Tremendous
Thanks 🙂
