well.
Because of the reaction Poet's giving your request for decent treatment. Your refusal to swallow your truth.
And.....IME.....the more directly truthful one is.....the more punitive the PD reaction.
That's not about you, imo. That's about whatever cavern of fear and regret the Poet's trapped in.
If she could express it......take it out, in the light ...... examine it with someone who cares about her..... she'd have a chance to seek peace.....feel better..... cultivate joy, imo.
Her defense mechanisms make it impossible to self reflect. I've seen this show up close.
It's sad, like I said. So many good things, but no space for reciprocity.....and it's ok to be done with placating flawed people, at one's expense.
My God.....
it really is time to let it go,((Hops.))
BTW.....I'd be surprised if Poet didn't attempt a character assassination on her way out of the club. I hope you're curious, instead of worrying.
Some dumb bunnies like chaos and the spirit of retribution, IME.
Some will see the Poet for what she is.
Maybe you'll get some terrific poems brewing up from the depths.
I want to hear them!!!
