Oh wow! Amazing realization
Came to fruition
A shame to blame myself
For the actions of others
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?
Really, WTF?! GTFO!
Yet, guilty, all my life
It was my fault if YOU did
Something bad to me!
Walking the thin red line
Of being good, of being chaste-like
Of being fat and dressing down to hide
My assets. Mental burqas?
Being quiet, being invisible
To avoid your attention
To avoid your lashing out at me
Or mistreating me sexually
Cleaning, cleaning, cleaning
To keep you happy
Fuck!
Now to see so clearly
The many ways I took
What was yours all along
A thief in the night, I was!
Responsibility for actions
That are mine is mine
That are your are yours.
Not mine if it’s yours
Giving back what’s yours
Responsibility, Accountability
Taking back what’s mine
My Power and freedom to be me!
Another degree of freedom
On another way
In Another day
Yes to me today
No more shame to blame
~~~
Namaste

Thank you! I’m sorry to hear, though too. let’s make a pact to change it up! Recognize where we take responsibility for that which is not ours… Outside of our minor children, it’s just not possible. Deal?!❤️❤️❤️

Hear! Hear! I love when these self-realizations happen to us! It’s exciting when we gain undetstand why we’ve always done what we’ve done, said what we’ve said- but it’s scary as all get out at the exact same time when face to face with it! You’ve got this though! You’ve got us to back you up! We see your beautiful light growing! Hugs!
