Stop pressuring, stop bullying
Back up ….you’re in my way
I’m doing what I want to do
Don’t tell me what to say.
Do what you want, I’m not your clone
Do things all on your own
Stop demanding that I come along
Leave me the hell alone.
Stop blaming me, stop shaming me
You don’t have the right
To belittle and look down on me
To instigate a fight.
You never learn, at it again
Been down this road before
Over and… over and…over again
Always wanting more.

I just saw this post in Reader and I love it. As a survivor of bullying and advocate for the bullied, I cannot stress the importance of self-care and that’s what setting boundaries is- self-care. We must love ourselves enough to take care of ourselves because if we don’t, who will? Thank you for posting, Patty. And keep setting those boundaries! Blessings!
