Wish I had the strength to block out people like that but find them slowly eating away at any attempts I make to shut them out.

Even when my outer personality appears quite tough and self assured.

Hopefully I'll get there someday.

Oh Witch, I see so many echoes of myself in you,.
People think I' tough but inside I'm as timid as a mouse, which is what my poem outside inside was about.
I've always been beaten down by people on power trips but the person I wrote egomaniac about was the last, I suddenly realised she was much weaker than me , because she relied on making me feel bad to make her feel good, she needed me, whereas I didn't need her at all, so who was stronger ?
Once this dawned on me and I told her so I felt so much better and haven't looked back, I'm much happier and no one will make me feel like that again , hang in there you can do it !!

I couldn't agree more. The balance shifts as you get older. You can see things more clearly. You can start looking at your life more logically because you have accumulated more people in it. The few you start off with aren't always the ones you need...although, at the time, you think they are and will do anything to keep them happy. You see yourself as the outsider and them as the insulation you need to wrap yourself in. As you get older, you can make a more educated decision about who is worth keeping and who isn't.

Excellent, Tanza.

Freedom?

Freedom to me is accepting my limitations and weaknesses. I place myself on no pedestal, so I cannot be knocked off. I am on the floor, so I cannot be pushed down.

I know my strength, intelligence and wisdom is small, so I have nothing to prove. I get things wrong, so don't mind if people correct me.

For me, insults have no power. I will probably laugh and call myself something much worse.

When I make a mistake, I have no fear in admitting it and taking the consequences. I am no perfectionist. I am the first to laugh at myself when I screw up. I laugh a lot.
