No more
They say she᧙s distant now.
Hard to reach. Hard to read.
But no one talks about how many versions of herself she had to kill
just to finally feel safe in her own skin.⃨
She stopped showing up᧔not out of spite, but survival.
She got tired of handing out grace to people
who used it as permission to keep hurting her.퇽확
They told her to let it go.
To be the bigger person.
But no one ever asked her what it cost to always be the one who bends.⃨
She stopped laughing at jokes that weren᧙t funny.
Stopped making excuses for people old enough to know better.
Stopped pretending she wasn᧙t drowning
in rooms where everyone else just kept passing the blame.퇽확
Now they call her the problem.
Too cold. Too honest. Too different.
Because she chose therapy over tradition.
Boundaries over breakdowns.
Truth over silence.⃨
Let them talk.
Let them stay confused.
She᧙s not the villain.
She᧙s just the first one who said,
No more.퇽확
