Being in English courses again has brought out the "stress relief" writer in me, and I find it funny that this piece comes right after my previous "don't give up"--to which I still believe no one should to a certain extent as long as it does not lead to enabled behaviors of other individuals.
Him:
He can be charming, kind, and manipulative like crazy. He can make you believe almost anything. He is happy until something goes awry and out of his domain. He’ll say anything to make you trust him. He is an addict addicted to “woe is me” when no one desires to enable him. He throws a punch, threatens a life, and tries to punish those who don’t agree in his way. He lies through his teeth that makes one question the truth, and shows no compassion when others have shown him nothing but compassion.
He has no grace, but instead has hidden an enemy smile through his manipulative ways. He makes you question what you have been told when you want to believe him. The truth comes out through his actions but the lies come out through his rhetoric reaction.
“Don’t be deceived” is easier told than believed when others have been warned of his way.
Then it all comes to the end, he is enabled instead of healed, and cares neither what happens as long as he receives what he thinks without question is deserved of him.
No consequences of law, just vain deception.
Is he capable of better?
Is not all capable of such character?
He believes himself above reproach and sees nothing that needs to be healed, and why should he when he is enabled to live no different than he lives now?
Although some hold to the hope of Devine intervention, and guidance might help him—he’ll neither seek it nor want it till he is enabled no more, helped no more, and brought into the light that saves all from damnation.
He neither cares for you or me, but only seeks to gain till he can gain no more—but what’s his down fall?
His down fall is looking for satisfaction where no satisfaction can be found, but only pain and empty handed efforts are made. Hurt and pain draw close to him and he paints himself the victim. Soon the down fall leads into something crazy that will happen…no one will trust him.
Hold onto hope that it does not get that far, pray none-stop for the intervention, and forget not until his actions match his reactions.
I believe in never giving up on others, even those deemed toxic, but I also believe in not enabling bad behavior. I believe in counseling, separation (in the rightful & godly way), and healing. I believe all should seek the best for others, but also know when it's unhealthy and to step away.
Sincerely,
Mikki :)
