Egoship

A Thin Line When Relationships Intertwine.

I thought we were good until the end.
I would've done anything for you.
I did it all, and you know it's true.
I would never say no to you,
went out of my way to boost you so your dreams could come true.
Yet you would never do the
things for me I did for you.

I had to realize there aren't many like me.
Even if you called me your bestie.
Let's take a look, let's see,
It's your world, your story,
I'm just a character.
One that makes you feel good,
One that's there for you When you're misunderstood.

When I need that same support,
And look for it in you, you can't do that.
Your world and ego are about you.
That's the only way this egoship stays true.

One day I wake up and say,
I don't want to be there anymore.
It's tiring and draining,
leaving my head sore.

Then suddenly I'm the terrible one.
Funny how the story changed,
how easy the blame is spun.
There's a thin line between love and hate.
I had to see you're not really the one for me.
In my story we'd show up the same,
Not treating loyalty like a game.

I have to be included set boundaries too.
I have to have energy left for my story.
Or there will be no ending,
No victory, no glory.

So I'll let go of this egoship,
and finally set myself free.
Not because I stopped caring,
but because I started caring for me.

by Rosalind P. Steed

Leaving behind one-sided connections isn't about holding a grudge—it's about holding on to yourself. When you stop playing a supporting role in someone else's world, you finally gain the strength to write your own story.

Has there ever been a moment you realized you needed to stop pouring into a relationship that was running you dry, and how did setting that boundary change your story?

It’s all hidden in plain sight — the illusions, the signals, the things most people walk past. At this point my mind can’t even help but decode it.

Friendenemy

I thought you were a true friend to me,
but you’re just waiting for the downfall of me —
a true friendenemy.

I’m not competing with you.
I’m just growing —
I want you to grow too,
but somehow my growth just threatens you.

I try to boost you,
give you knowledge,
put you on game —
but you take it as insult,
every word you take and reframe.
My intentions are true,
but you turn them to dread
because you can’t control
the thoughts running through your head.

You lean in with excitement
when something’s wrong,
thinking, “See… she ain’t that strong.”
But when I bounce back,
you get sick with that.

You keep me close out of fear,
exclude me out of jealousy,
tell people I was “busy”
when you never asked.
You only want me small enough
to fit your shadow.
But I’ll pass.

My eyes are wide now.
I see clearly.
And one thing I don’t need
is a friendenemy.

by Rosalind P. Steed

Once you see the truth, you can’t unsee it.

Have you outgrown someone but kept pretending you hadn’t?

Last night I listened to Outwitting the Devil , as I have a few times.

What stood out to me this time was that the book wasn't published until 70 years after Napoleon Hill's death because he believed it would be too controversial. In the book, he even promises the Devil he won't release it. It makes you wonder... did he actually have that conversation, or was it a powerful way of revealing the fears and limitations that keep people trapped?

My biggest takeaway is that I've definitely outwitted the Devil.
I realize now that I learned some things later than I wanted to, but that's how it was meant to be. The beauty is that I learned them. And going forward, I know exactly what I'm meant to teach.

The important thing isn't when you learn the lesson.

It's that you learn it.

Outwitting the Devil is a work of fiction that was written in 1938 ...

Love Bomb

Omg — you miss me,
you love me so much,
I’ve only known you
for a day or two,
and suddenly I’m your whole world.

I’m your only girl,
no one above me,
you can’t live without me too —
something feels really off with you.

Do you say this to everybody who ever falls?
I’ll get all the calls
until you get what you want from me.
I see you’re just gonna keep love bombing me.

It’s too fast,
too soon,
I know this ain’t gonna last.
I see the trick.
You can’t talk over my head.
I already see the dread.

It’s not love,
it’s a web of deceit.
You can take your love bombs —
go ahead and retreat.

Every season shaped me, every storm refined me — alignment to purpose was always the destination.

In Hindsight

My path is not negotiable,
for everything carries a reason.
In hindsight,
when I gather the pieces of my life
and lay them out in the quiet,
I see how every moment shaped me right.

The trials, the tribulations—
they weren’t meant to break me,
they were meant to wake me,
carve the warrior rising deep inside.

Life wasn’t easy,
but I was in training—
every hardship a lesson in disguise.

I was born for a reason,
growing through every season.
I had to learn
what it means to break,
but never be broken —
rebuild and mend again.

I wasn’t born with a teacher,
no guide to show the way—
so I became my own leader,
learning day by day.
I built myself from the inside out,
turning every setback into proof
that I was never losing—
I was being refined.

And now, in hindsight,
I see the pattern in the pain.
I was being aligned.

Peace Over Panic

Every time I choose peace over panic,
Heaven moves—automatic.
Warfare shifts, angels stand,
God steps in with a mighty hand.

Let them talk.
Let them whisper my name.
Every word they speak in shadows
only circles back in shame.

I’m covered.
I’m claimed.
I’m carried by the One who reigns.
When God stands up to fight for me,
no battle stays the same.

No weapon formed—
not one can be named—
No one can prosper or prevail.
I walk in favor,
wrapped in mercy,
anchored where fear fails.

So I rise steady.
I rise sure.
Peace in my chest,
purpose pure.
Fire in my soul,
truth in my roar.
I’m protected, directed,
and built for more.

by Rosalind P. Steed

Staying centered on purpose and learning what God is teaching me. Choosing peace over panic and letting Him guide the parts of me that are still growing.

Sometimes life keeps handing us the same lesson until we finally stop and ask a different question.
This piece is for anyone who’s ever felt stuck in a loop,blaming life, blaming people, blaming the past — and finally realizing the real shift starts from within.

Why me

Why is this happening to me
Everything goes wrong
Same dance, same song
Same script I keep dragging along

It’s not my fault — it never could be
Life just picks me out specifically
Over and over, the same tragedy
I swear the universe has it out for me

Maybe it’s my mom, maybe it’s my dad
For not giving me the kushy life I should’ve had
Maybe it’s fate, maybe it’s the past
Maybe I’m cursed with a shadow that lasts

Every ex left me, every ex lied
Every ex broke me and never tried
I stay the same — they’re the ones insane
They just needed someone to carry their blame

But here I am, stuck in the part I play
Rehearsing the same lines day after day
Pointing at everyone else in the frame
Never noticing I could be the one to blame.

Maybe the question ain’t “Why me?”
Maybe it’s “Why do I cling to this story?”
Maybe the victim I crown as my truth
Is just the version of me that’s scared of the proof

And maybe the moment everything shifts
Is when I stop waiting for life to fix it
When I stop handing out blame like gifts
And finally stand up in my own skin — legit.

Diagnosis‑CPTSD / Prescription‑Me

I thought I was going crazy.
Every bad thing that ever happened to me
kept coming to mind—
it was my life,
over and over,
on rewind.

The doctor said,
“Take these pills.
Numb your pain,
and keep coming to me
over and over again.”

The pills?
Side effects stacked.
This one, that one—
I gave them back.

This same doctor,
in her first years, said:
“Eight minutes of exercise
will take that depression away.”
I kept that in my thoughts
until this day.

Meditation to train my mind—
it took the button off rewind.
Praying to God
and listening to His frequency
made me see
who I was truly meant to be.

No one could see my thoughts.
I had to be my own best friend—
telling myself
I wasn’t going crazy,
over and over again.

Because if I didn’t forgive,
if I didn’t let go,
there was no way
my soul could grow.

I thought “crazy,”
but what I was going through
was the dark night of the soul—you see
a sacred unraveling
that set my spirit free.

by Rosalind P. Steed

Forgiveness isn’t about forgetting — it’s about freeing your spirit so it can finally grow.
