Crushed

Acrostic for Eclipse

Erase the hope of feeling peace,

Crush my feelings of validation,

Lie to others that I was the problem,

Intimidate me and make me feel worthless.

Pass off like you did not hurt me,

Silence me with your narcissism and

Eradicate my sense of being whole.

Acrostic

    Still you rise Sid. Still you rise. Don't dwell on those who refuse to open their minds. Run free.

    Writing it down can help to release the pain. Yet, pain lingers. Family, friends, those close to us will ever cause pain, but at some point we will let it go and move on. I pray that you are getting to that place of peace. Reaching out hugs and warmth to you Sid. I hope you are doing well. Blessings.

  • I've experienced all of those and it sucks. I'm sorry if you're in that situation. Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️
