Mirror Wounding



We have the same weakness
It was engineered that way
Those closest to us
Are our biggest threat
We care so much
We are blinded by betrayal
It's been this way all our lives
I knew it
He didn't believe
There are consequences for ignoring
Divine intervention
Detachment is needed
For accurate perception
When you ignore divinity
You suffer for it
I have always searched myself
Even when people plot against me
I still make way to get clarity
Though this is a vulnerability for me
I still do the work needed
To see clearly
To me
Elevation is everything
I constantly work on myself
To improve who I am
I don't rush in to harm
I show empathy
Compassion
I'm not interested in creating chaos
I'm interested in building
I'll do it myself if I have to
But I won't fall prey to weakness
I'll do what's needed
To be the best me I can be
Anyone in my energy
Needs to be on my level
