This fucked me up for a good 20 minutes.
My anger was my own heart standing over the beaten-down part of me and saying “You may be too whipped to feel it completely right now, but this situation is not okay and how they are treating you is not okay, so I am going to watch your back until you can protect yourself again.”
I’ve been told hanging on to my anger is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.
No. It’s me realizing I had the right to stand up from the table and not drink the poison I was being told was the only truth. It’s me reclaiming the power I ceded to others in a desperate attempt to survive.
Never. Again.
