You’re not for everyone

YOU’RE NOT FOR EVERYONE

You’re not for everyone

but you are most definitely

for someone

and when you find yourself caught

in the trap of ‘people-pleasing’

remind yourself quickly

that you are ‘people’ too

and further refresh your memory

by recalling

that pleasing everyone

is not possible

it cannot be done

just like the sun cannot shine

on all faces at once

but when it does

when you are for someone

it is more than enough

you’re not for everyone

but it’s the ‘someones’

who matter most

the ‘someones’

who will breathe you new life

when your lungs forget how

love your ‘someones’

they’re the only ones

you need

I have joined with many parents affected with the surreal , yet accepted issue of child abuse via Pathogenic Parenting / Domestic abuse. As a survivor of Domestic Abuse, denial abounded that 3 sons were not affected. In my desire to be family to those who have found me lacking . As a survivor of psychiatric abuse, therapist who abused also and toxic prescribed medications took me to hell on earth with few moments of heaven. I will share my life, my experiences and my studies and research.. I will talk to small circles and I will council ; as targeted parents , grandparents , aunts , uncles etc. , are denied contact with a child for reasons that serve the abuser ...further abusing the child. I grasp the trauma and I have looked at the lost connection to a higher power.. I grasp when one is accustomed to privilege, equality can feel like discrimination.. Shame and affluence silences a lot of facts , truths that have been labeled "negative". It is about liberation of the soul from projections of a alienator , and abuser ..
