Searching for peace
Surrounded by chaos instead
A moment of silence
For the hope I once had
It’s always my fault
But it’s always about you
If I express myself than I’m overreacting
But when you do it’s because you’re allowed to have emotions
You can do no wrong
I can do no right
As much as I want to stay
It’s time for me to move on
About “Searching For Peace”:
I’m at a place in life where I am ready to set firm boundaries and protect my peace even when it makes others uncomfortable. For those of you that have ever had any experiences with a narcissist or someone that has narcissistic traits, you know the one thing they hate is boundaries. Sometimes, you love this person and want to maintain a relationship with them but I’m realising there’s truly no point of trying to have rational conversations with irrational and delusional people.
I’ve noticed that when it comes to narcissists, there’s always double standards. If I’m frustrated about something then I’m overreacting but if I call them out about their behaviour I’m told “so I’m not allowed to have emotions?” even when those emotions are expressed in a really unhealthy way.
So I’ve given up trying. If someone wants to communicate and resolve issues they would. I am no longer going to maintain relationships on someone else’s terms. I’m not longer going to burn myself out trying to make others more comfortable especially when they lack any sort of gratitude for it.
