Respect Is An Essential Quality In Any Relationship & so is the Truth of Both persons. Not Just The Needs & Wants of The Other Person. Refuse to continually coddle a reality that will never happen. Offer truth of your feelings always
.....True equality is acceptance.

Successful Failure

 

She toiled

with his deceptions far, far too long;

As she wavered

all his responsibility in silence…

The martyr would soon become the victim…

Needing & pleading

like a beggar of self served pity;

He claimed

the vulture was an eagle;

He said

the fangs of a viper were the eye of a tiger.

He is a master of false belief.

The denials of his resistance are hard to defy.

Like the intrigued fire of addictive passions

entrenched by the soul in the breath

of a dragon’s heathen;

The moldy temples are the entrapments

unearthed by his lustful demise.

He is a successful failure of honesty & trust.

The truth is…

the innocent master of drudgery;

claims the fairy tale of deception;

within another’s weakness;

to know the unacceptable truth.

Deception, self deception in particular, is rooted in low personal self esteem. Without it, credibilty flounders in a stagnant pool of acrid illusions. Never able to hold one's head proudly above the surface. Mankind has but one true asset to barter with in life. Credibility. Without that, we have no basis, no grounding point for anything else.

Ms. V, Know in your heart that you respect yourself, and all other things will be dissolved. Always remember self-respect and there will be no deceptions to deal with, it comes from us first, a long and hard lesson to be learned, trust me, It took me many years to come to grips with this and now I choose not to be with people like that and I am alone but I still have my self-respect and contentment.

Much peace, love, and light to you dear friend,
Amber "V"

Destroy the spider's web and he will be making another one, some can't help it to have been born rotten to the core.
