I feel stuck and I don't know how to change that, so I'm pissed off at everyone and everything.

How are we all feeling today?

[youravgblkyapper]

Deep rooted insecurity corrodes character. It makes a dangerous coward. Someone stuck in perfectionism and competition. A corroded character is willing to go lengths to protect their false self image, no matter who's sacrificed for it. These are the true villains. Unwilling to face themselves they choose to resent others who do. They choose to befriend resentment, envy, and jealousy. They become devoted followers to hate, restriction and conformity. Then they recruit. Those they cannot recruit, become those they colonize. These are people who will not stop, they are endlessly running from themselves. When they hit rock bottom they let it swallow and control them. They choose to be harm, and they want you to accept it. Deep rooted insecurity is the womb for Evil.

Vivir quejándote de los privilegios que los demás tienen y tú no, es resentimiento.

Small Shoulders

I am resentful

For the childhood you deprived me of

One not bad enough for people to notice

But not good enough to escape unscathed

It's hard to process my hurt feelings

When I haven't had it as bad as others

But the thing is, it causes resentment to grow

It grows and twists and spreads

With each passing year

Each passing visit of ignored feelings and unacknowledged baggage

Until one day I give in

I give in and ignore it, push it aside

Try to forget it, but not forgive it

Or I cling on to it

The feeling I'm used to

Try to rationalise it, proces it

Pay someone to help remove the hurt before I explode

Before I pin all my hurt feelings upon you

Drag you down too with the the weight of the feelings

That you left for me to carry

On my small shoulders

Before I could grow a thicker skin

I am resentful

How People Become Bitter and Resentful

Burying emotions can leave you feeling empty and numb.

"When a person becomes bitter, there’s often a sense of betrayal about how life has treated them. A victim mindset can take hold. We have the feelings we have for a reason, and bitter individuals are no exception. Becoming bitter is the likely consequence of feeling invalidated and unappreciated in one too many situations and relationships. The problem snowballs when the hurt, bitter person gives in and gives up. Instead, taking action can make the difference between an isolated life and a connected one."

'I think what I resent most is having to think about this at all.'
