Stop the Cycle

STOP THE CYCLE

He is separation and judgment. I am unity and empathy.  He is reactionary, warlike,barking his fears on me. I am a silent unflinching fortress of self care.. Their fear no longer ignites mine. They are an abuser and I know both sides of that.
Persecution by another and by the self. The Dark Knight of dark nights. The bully and the healer. One strong and one weak. I can stay and let my ego fight you or walk away and let my heart win me. 
Your sword is heavy, hurtful and black. Words are daggers chosen carefully to wound. My weapon is light- the brightest you have ever seen!. My compassion sees you bleeding but I can' t swim in your blood. If suffering has no purpose I can not engage. Self honor tells me this mirror no longer reflects me, I have cleaned up my mess.
This is my house, my life , my soul and I've earned them all, I fought the devil and back and carved every cell of clay in my body and soul to be who I am and I'm strong and I need to protect this beautiful masterpiece that I have created myself into being.
No One will ever dishonor this beautiful soul again. not me and certainly not you!
Sometimes a Turning Point isn't a grand gesture or big bang. It's finally hearing the quiet hum that's been strumming against your soul all along and deciding to bravely dance to it's tune. Authentic. Aligned. Turning towards truth. Ready. Excited.  Standing in who you are meant to be. Insulated from destruction!
