Tired

I am tired of losing myself to uncertain relationships.

I am tired of punishing myself over the things that I prayed to work, but didn’t. I am tired of wasting my nights being sad over someone who wouldn’t even be happy being with me.

I am tired of losing my peace, settling on unclear intentions, and living on good old memories.

I am tired of romanticizing black and white future. I am tired of looking for people who do not want to be found. And I am tired of running away from my worth.

I just want to be with someone whom I can celebrate good little things with, share my secrets and dreams, and who can effortlessly make me love myself more.

I just want to be in the arms of someone who’s also tired of playing games, living on false hopes, and singing goodbyes.

So, if you’re tired, too, please meet me here. I won’t mind offering my shoulders for you to lean to, my hands for you to hold, and my heart for you to rest onto.

Grow with me. Chase the calm with me. Above all, be tired with me—so we don’t have the energy to leave.

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 ..
