Never be held a victim of a toxic love,
for you will never grow.

A kiss for all to see,
then belittle when its just you & me.

When someone tries
to make you feel small,
Stand tall.

Never diminish yourself
for anyone.

Never belittle yourself!
Stand tall and know your worth!
How you treat yourself
reveals who you are!

Don’t allow people
to manipulate you
with false love…

“I love you…I hate you.”
Avoid toxic people
and find your self worth.

If they hold you
in the palm of your hand,
you’ve stunted your growth
to fit their standard.

Beware of the beautiful, loving,
caring masks people wear.

False love is like a hot wind…
the breeze may temporarily soothe you,
but the heat of it still burns.

Don’t let negative self talk
make you feel small.

Emotional abuse comes in many forms.
They act like they love you
while behind closed doors they belittle you

Parents who intimidate,
raise insecure children.
Love expands, negatively diminishes.
Edna Tortor Fregene
The apparent view is often an illusion
of the real view.
Be careful, don’t be too trusting.

Appearances are sometimes deceiving

Sweet talkers mostly spew
the worst kind of invisible venom…

Recognize the enemy
within you

The duality of humans.
We all have
our good and ugly reactions
to people

Self-Love conquers
the inner enemy of insecurities

Find your inner peace
or else be ruined
with your expectations

She seems harsh for some
but she is the most loving.

Watch out for what they don’t say…
To belittle you each time
they find a new way!

The art of deception…
Needs no introduction.

Don’t ever allow someones words
to reduce you.

When you let people minimize you,
you hand them control
of all you say and do.
