Commandments of The Other

1. You cease to exist unless beckoned.
2. You do not initiate contact unless contacted.
3. You erase all evidence of existence.
4. You do not make known acknowledgment.
5. You accept your place of no place at all.
6. You play to every whim & fancy as subjected to.
7. You feign emotions & reactions to suit each arising situation.
8. You show no emotion once left.
9. You make no demands or requests unless they are asked of you to be made.
10. You will always be "the other" unless YOU put a stop to it.

Don't be played for a fool. Don't mistake advances for affection. Don't lose yourself to be someone/something you're not. Don't give in. Don't sacrifice yourself for stones when you're meant for precious gems.

I thank God.
