Trying To Change Another
another person’s attempt to change you
their desire for you to be less self-expressed
less potent
less YOU
is nothing more than an indication
that they deeply crave to be just as self-expressed
(whatever that looks like for them)
but instead of choosing that for themselves
(which they can do at any time)
they try to diminish it in you
(like they’ve been doing to themselves)
to cope with the pain of that perpetual self-denial
that excruciating and ever-present pain
of rejecting
and denying
the fullness of who they are
