You Cannot Resist Poem by Tony Kavuoti

In one sense you can see her even better than she can see herself.

She's like a vampire

You're dazzled by her

You want to follow her you

You cannot resist her

you want her to lead

Even though parts of you know it's heading toward something terrible

You feel something special

and you suspend your mind

your own needs-

and judgment for a while.


It happens when we are susceptible, especially under stress


Especially when you come from neglectful and or abusive family, that is sneaky and mendacious at covering up it's neglect and abuses.

Exspecially when parents project their own undigested pain, destructiveness, immaturity and lack of emotional development onto their own children.


You mistake abuse for love.
