My heart would fly 
If it were 
a mockingbird

<br>

I laid out my heart 
In a finger-boned bowl
Feathered breast-plate smashed
You wanted only flesh
Torn shreds of bared loin

<br>

My heart would sing 
My heart would fly 
If it were

<br>

I waited out the winter
In a nest warmed with melancholic faith
Tears to shards and shards to tears
Certain in spring, with the melt, you’d return
You returned with the mockingbird

<br>

<br>

I kept my heart 
I sang my verse 
You preferred 
the mockingbird

<br>

<br>


My voice has lost its melody
My winged-heart is clipped

Still … it’s found flight
Flown away, lost and forgotten
Forever with the mockingbird

<br>

Dating a narcissists is hard work and breaking up with one, a VERY difficult task. Attachment and love has to be overcome to do the right thing. The right thing for you, and breaking up with a narcissists is almost always the right thing to do. Well, at least when that narcissist is unrepentant.

Sometimes narcissism is arrested development. I challenge one to find a teenagers that isn't somewhat narcissistic, and in a world with Tik-Tok and Instagram, we encourage our kids and the population at large to practice a look at me philosophy.

But what if the Narcissist you are involved with runs your country?

He offered us no choice. We could not simply leave the relationship. Denied air and cross border travel, there was no place to go. He placed and continues to place our children under constant threat; inject them with a therapeutic that holds a known next risk for them and who knows what undiscovered risks or give them no place in society, in higher education and jobs. We had no choice but to engage with a narcissist; to stand our ground regardless of how narrow ... on the fringe ... that piece of justified land was.

We haven't given up; because we can't. They haven't given up and when pushed to the edge, you have to regain some soil. Me. I get online and reason and offer information that some might not have and from time to time, play the verbal trickster for those that resist seeing what has become obvious for just about everyone by now. 

Others however they like to get loud.

Warning foul language.

Now before you go ... well that kind of language is just uncalled for in a civilized society. In a tyranny, civility is a facade truth is hidden behind.

Good, law-abiding citizens have been injured by what was suppose to be medicine; excess mortality correlates wherever that supposed medicine was used. Thousands of excess people in the countries ... that used the medicine the most ... dying a week; young people. 

Why the excess death? Only supposition from official narrative approved sources are offered, but definitely not the medicine. Nope not the medicine.

I know it is scary to consider and I don't blame you for not wanting to; but you gotta consider it if you love. If it is the reason; it only stops when you wake up.

Upon the altar of the Science,  hesitant 'heretics' lost jobs, family and friends. We were told we were diseased, selfish, and stupid. Anti this or that. Dissent became conspiracy. 

There was no having rational and logical discussions. Censorship and censure were the order of the day. Well, in a world like that people will get loud. The truth will keep getting loud until you hear it.

Fortunately love too can get loud and like truth ... unlike lies ... it endures. Happy Convoy Day, freedom lovers.

> I challenge one to find a teenagers that isn't somewhat narcissistic

Hah. You know, I often joke that teenagers ought to be outlawed. I mean... not really... but damn.

More seriously, I don't think that anyone can go into politics *without* being narcissistic.  There are varying degrees of it, sure, but gone are the days of wanting to represent your constituents, and here are the days of believing that you're smart and suave enough to make decisions for other people.

I think that is true over all but there are also people that go in to change things ... they are rarely successful ... and maybe on occasion because somebody HAS to do it.
