Defend and Protect at all costs
bury unpleasant thoughts and feelings under, down, below
refuse to accept reality
deny, deny, deny
change existence and rewrite your life
fabricate your lies until they morph into your new reality
regress or act out
childishly punch the wall of your frustration
disconnect from your follies
forget, forget, forget
place each dissonant thought into a strongbox
locked away even from yourself
project your pettiness and bitterness onto the wholesome
react in opposition with your infantile impulses
blockade your imperfections behind fantasy
beat your spouse, kick the dog—never harm yourself
Defend and Protect at all costs
