When he said that I was wrong I tried to improve ...
When he said I was bad I didn't retaliate...I found fault in myself
When he corrected me I thought it was my mistake
When he condescended to me...I believed him to be concerned...
When he complied me to start his favourites... I readily tried it
But when he openly demanded that I change. ....
I stood cold and unyielding... The past mistakes burning like a deep flaming abyss and I said...
"Noone is perfect and I'm no exception."
I turned my back to him... My body is mine... my thoughts are mine .....and my ideas are mine....
So when I turned my back to him...I realized that I could have scoffed at him ..scolded him like he did to me...could have insulted him.....
But when I turned my back to him I kept my dignity.. kept my calm
And never turned to look back...
Never brooded...
Because the answer. The answer was so beautiful and so simple. So easy to digest and understand after all this time -
You're too good for him
And he's not worth it.
