V of Swords Spell
Two forces are about to clash.
One side's ready to smash.
One side's treated like trash.
This fight's not fair;
The force's a Trojan horse.
The conflict's a trick.
And I feel sick.
Some challenges are worth facing;
There's value in the heart racing.
Sometimes it's sensical;
Sometimes it's tragical.
Sometimes it's even magical.
But, sometimes choosing to walk away
from terror, from abuse,
from downright dismay
is the only choice you really have.
To save yourself is what you need.
Anything else will keep you caged,
keep you unfreed.
Take my candy,
take my UN-needs,
take what I no longer seek.
I am not going to hide
because I am not weak.
For in your wickedness, your vindictiveness,
your indifference and your unkindness,
lies the true sadness, the madness, and the blindness.
You're just chasing your rancor,
trying to kill the parts you hate.
I'm a mirror for your anger,
but this time I'm not going to break.
Eight years of bad luck
and you never gave a fuck!
Go pick up the pieces of you
that have splattered,
have shattered,
that no longer matter
to me or to you.
Just let me pass, let me go through.
This fight is over, like we both already knew.
Just let me pass, let me go through.
This fight is over, like we both already knew.
UNHINGED QUEST FOR SUCCESS, EPIC BATTLE, UNFAIR FIGHT
Ah, change is here again, with the power of the five. This time it’s unpredictable communication that’s the source of conflict. There’s a bully on the block and they’re not too picky about who they take down and why. They just want power. They want to feel control of something or to simply take something away from someone else so they feel the accomplishment and significance they were lacking otherwise. You can choose to enter this fight, but the winner has already been decided. It’s an unfair fight, a rigged match that doesn’t seem just at all. The bully is really only fighting themselves in a demon glass mirror. They’re really just a big toddler, fussing about trying to get someone’s candy. Until they find what they’re internally missing, they will just keep on bashing until they like what they see again, which might not ever happen. The best choice in this scenario is probably to walk away or be okay with what you might have to sacrifice in order to get past. If you find that you are the giant in this scenario picking on someone smaller, you have to look within and ask yourself, how low can you go? What do you lack inside that you can’t find without hurting someone else until you get it? What unmet need do you have that’s causing you to be the unkind one?
Eight’s Insight: Sometimes to win against a bully, you simply have to not enter the competition at all. You cross the street and take a different route because you understand that you have little to do with what the conflict’s really about anyway. The cost of the battle isn’t worth the outcome, sometimes. With dysfunctional family interaction, it can be best to just cut off all contact instead of giving them the little pieces of your heart you can’t ever get back. Just disengage. With toxic and unsafe people you have to protect yourself and quit giving them supply. It’s all they’re after of course. And, it’s always the same game, just different players. So, just stop playing! You could also be stuck in a revolving door conflict that you need to put an end to completely by just excising the parties involved out of your life. Cut the rotten root from your plant, repot it in nutrient-dense soil, and it will regrow newer, more healthy parts nourished from love, kindness, and honesty. The battle could also be inside you, one that never seems to stop. You must go through and fight through the triggers in order to heal.
