Shine Through

If someone disrespects

or discourages

or dismisses you

(not once, but regularly,

in ways big and small,

outright and subtle)....

If someone has disdain for you,

disregard,

and always a disparaging remark

(even if 'hidden' under humor)....

If someone acts like they don't

like you very much or that they

don't enjoy your presence, as is...

Leave...

Make them Leave...

Stop Going Back...

Break Things Off....

Stop feeding the Beast.

Respect yourself enough

rather than waiting for them to do so.

No matter who they might be.

Stop them,

separate yourself,

and NEVER go back.
