Please, don't give him your attention

Please dont give him your attention.

You know that's all he wants

He will shout, scream, threaten, coerce

He will make empty promises

He will tell you he holds all the cards

But he is nothing without an audience

So, please don't give him your attention

Don't spend another moment of your precious time

Wondering, hoping, fearing, despairing

Focus instead on your loved ones

Focus instead on the person right here in front of you

Focus instead on the steady beating of your heart

Please give your attention to someone who deserves it

It's a precious gift, don't waste it on him.

A great message, Hazel. Just ignore the idiot. This might prick his balloon of hot air.
