It's not a competition,

  It's not a competition;

  Repeat this to yourself:

  It's not a competition.

  Not for her affection,

  Not for her attention;

  Not for conversation,

  Not for a false connection.

  You've been protected,

  You’re still being directed,

  It'll take time.

  But it will be worth it.

  Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

  Remember the red flags that

  Rose during conversation and

  how they were;

  Heed the green signals,

  Flee towards them.

  Someone unexpected,

  Someone much better,

  Someone who gives,

  as well as takes,

  Someone who’s really

  interested in you rather than

  as an Attention-filler;

  Someone who your mind blows and

  with whom you have far to go.

  And it all begins by

  reminding yourself that

  when you speak to the one

  here now:

  It's not,

  It's not,

  It's not a competition.

  Note to self - Need to watch the tubey vids again about 10 Major Red Flags and 9 Green Flags by C Ryan (very helpful).
