Damaged
Run as far and fast as I can
Leave it all
-the unappreciated tasks
-the lost causes
-the endless advances
Just walk away; be alone; be happy
Cannot take anymore
Scared, Bent, Broken
-Ella Pygmalion original
Oh to be the mother of a 13 year old boy. As close as he is to my heart, he still drives me crazy. It seems so hard for him to focus and complete a task. If I redirect him once, I redirect him 10 times while he is doing the same task. It would be so easy to give up and do things myself but it is my responsibility to make sure he can be self sufficient. I will not give up on teaching him. I love him too much.
I try to control my anger at all times. I love being funny yet poised. However, this week was so awful...there were a few times I felt like I was one insult or catastrophe away from being the star player in an episode of Snapped!
Sometimes doing the right thing makes people turn against you. Never be afraid to stand against unethical and illegal behavior. Do not compromise your own standards to make others happy.
I would rather stand alone for what is proper and right than be surrounded and supported by reprobates.
