tired
I have been submerging my feelings so others could have the feeling of safety. I have ignored my instincts so much because others have denied it. I feel like a dense ball of tar, because I would attach to everything I can to maintain sanity, however, nothing can get to the center. I'm exhausted and gradually growing into the new skin. I have no room for outside noises, opinions of someone who I view as less than the world has to offer (their time is up, they had their chance), and giving people energy that makes them stronger. When I step into my new placement, I will tower over others. I will not accept the actions of someone that does not provide respect. I am done with being obedient to the world who caused me more harm than good. This is my time to learn the highest good I can put into this world. I will redirect and illuminate hidden intentions in my opponent's mind to make them fear the thoughts they wanted to put on me. I am tired of society's commands. As soon as the clock strikes, my desires and my promises will merge.
