Those Who Lift, And Those Who Shove

Some people try to hold and shove you down beneath where they think they are because they feel so low themselves already.  Perhaps it is subconcious thinking of them.  Perhaps they simply think you do not deserve to be on their elite level of existence.  Regardless, they are a bunch of fuckers.

I remember when I felt like a queen and expressed it, and someone told me I was not one.  They said I was not even a princess.  A friend would never say that to another, so that was the first moment I realized they were not really my friend.  Why not let someone have their moment to feel confident and secure?  Why be so cruel?  Good thing I recognized this, and it did not bring my spirit down.

Some people are so extremely self-centered and insecure that they can not deal with anything not going exactly their way.  You try and try to do right by them despite nasty little verbal jabs throughout the friendship, letting it roll off your back until they go too far, and you have no choice but to stand up for yourself.  At this, they get even more nasty, treating you in a way you would not even allow an enemy to treat you..  At which point you become very hurt and blunt about how they are behaving...  Still they twist it so you are the bad guy because they simply can dish, but not take it.

Some people will lie and sneak to please everyone.  They don't think others can tell what they are doing, but we know.  I have never been able to be this kind of person....  I would rather look like a megabitch who is honest and real than someone who lies to people they love in this way.

BUT

There are those people who try to lift you up out there.

The ones who will kindly tell you like they see it when they think you need to hear it.

The ones who will never intentionally harm you, and if they ever do inadvertently, they are strong and mature enough to apologize and say they made a mistake.

The ones who will go out of their way for you when you are in trouble and need help, even when it is slightly inconvenient for them because they truly care about your well being.

The ones who you can relax with and be yourself with no matter what that is because you know they accept all of who you are.

And the ones who aren't afraid to accept your love, and who see it as genuine and real.

To those who are harmful, I bid you a fine farewell.  There is no room for you here.

And to those who want the best things for me, I will always have an open door for you.
