Why do we believe this phrase “you deserve better”? Have the lies that we've heard become accepted as our fact? Have we become so enthralled with pleasing everyone, that we forgot to please our self, first? Why is it that when others bring us down and deter our soul, we hence embrace them. We embrace their poetry and we embrace their anger. We believe their sayings are true, and that their reflections upon us must be genuine. So, over periods of our life, we believe that we are not worthy, we are less, and we are unsatisfactory. We cannot see our strengths, because others have only restated our weaknesses. We cannot move on, because in order to move on, we must be strong, but we do not believe we are strong; we believe we are weak (that is our weakness). So we believe that we deserve less. It may not be true, but a lie repeated is a truth aired. And so when prosper enters our lives, we find a way to sacrifice it in name of the lies we believe. We do not deserve prosper, rather we deserve worse. And so the prosper leaves. The prosper deserves better than us. But that is only because we do not believe that we are good enough for the prosper. The prosper sees the good in us that we have hidden amongst our own eyes and the prosper wishes to reveal our strength. But we shun the prosper and crawl back into our darkness.
