"❤ It's true what they say "We teach people how to treat us by what we allow." As children we may have limited power and choice but as adults the responsibility is ours to stand up and say NO to anyone treating us badly - regardless of the relationship..... Surprisingly the world doesn't end only the dysfunction in the relationship does."

"Keep On Shining"
When another treats you badly, testing your reserve,
Abusively with disrespect in ways you don't deserve,
It's because they're unhappy with themselves as they see
And seek then to bring down others to share in their misery.
Rather than taking the initiative to themselves improve,
They try to pull others down into their bleak, dismal groove.
Folks who live in misery resent those who rise above,
Accept the elements of hatred instead of cultivating Love.
These such individuals become and are so addicted
To the drug of misery and can't see they have inflicted
Upon themselves the state they're in, choosing thus to wallow,
Cloak themselves in darkness, sucking others in to follow.
They will try to steal your Light, blow your candle out,
Undermine your confidence, causing you to self doubt,
But don't let them do this, steal from you your Light.
Instead keep doing your best, keep your candle bright.
Some folks within themselves see no fault or blame,
For a person lost in darkness without a candle flame
Cannot see what's hidden in their dark and gloomy place,
Until another's Light reveals what they do not wish to face.
When they're made to see what they're harbouring inside,
Too painful to accept, they call on their ego and its pride
To do what ego does best, which is deception of its host,
Disowning that which needs to be focused on the most.
Declining ownership of their traits less appealing,
Because of discomfort with themselves they're feeling,
They in turn fling them in the direction of the Light,
Both to rid themselves and dim one who is shining bright.
They can choose to ignite, bring flame to their spark,
Dwelling deep inside them, obscured by the dark
Or they can choose to remain in darkness, tread,
In their state of misery, refuse from to be led.
There will be some who will want and will choose to change,
Who will look closer into themselves to better rearrange
Their priorities to place Love's Elements above bitters of hate,
So they too can rise above for Light their darkness to negate.
But there'll be those who'll choose to in their quagmire wallow,
Stubbornly rebuke change and into the Light refuse to follow.
Not only will they choose to in their murky waters stay,
They'll be consumed with desire to steal your Light away.
When another treats you badly, testing your reserve,
Abusively with disrespect in ways you don't deserve,
Just Keep On Shining bright your Light, brilliantly present,
Others can choose to shine with you or labour in lament.
