I Don't KNOw Why

I don’t know why

Why I felt compelled to justify

To explain to soften to apologize

For my choices for my life

But let me be clear

You ended this

And while I still wonder

If we’ll ever mend

Don’t confuse my hope

With surrender again

Don’t mistake my kindness

As permission to blame

Your judgment ends here

Not mine to carry

You chose to leave now live with it

I walk in fire I dance in truth

New circle new vibe no shame no proof

Not mine to carry not my sin

You don’t get to drag me in

Not my guilt not my chain

Your silence won’t make me explain

I entertain the thought

Of you and me again

But only if we rise

Not if I shrink

I reject the weight

Of your wounded pride

I have nothing to hide

And no one to obey

You looked at me

Like I broke a rule

I never agreed to

I made new bonds

Built new truths

You don’t get to choose

What I do

Not mine to carry not my war

I don’t owe you peace anymore

Not my guilt not my tears

Your shadow don’t live here

I was never yours to mold

This version of me

Untouchable

Unapologetic

Unbound
