Big Mouth Strikes Again

And so it goes folks.  There's a great skit in a Fugees song that goes:  'The only problem we have is killing the people who don’t look like us, who oppress us. Shit.  You see, it’s easy for cats to kill cats, it’s just the dogs they got trouble with. Its time for us to stand up like men and women, yo. You know what I realized? You let a mother fucker kick you five times, they gon’ kick you five times. You let ‘em kick you three times, they gon’ kick you three times. You let ‘em kick you twice, they gon’ kick you twice. You let ‘em kick you once, they gon’ kick you once. But if you break off there mother fucking feet, there ain’t gon’ be no more kicking going on, kid.”

My ex boyfriend is a bully and as much as I would love to blame myself for allowing him to get away with such cruelty I must instead delve deep into my own psyche and forgive myself and move on.  I thought we would be able to be civil and mature but he has proven to me that some people cannot change.  My only hope is that I can change allowing bullies to kick me so many times; my song of the week has been 'the times they are a changın' and with that in mind I will change and learn from my past mistakes.
