The Ending You Couldn't Rewrite
You didn’t break me loud.
You did it quietly,
with denial wrapped in affection,
with “you’re imagining things”
said like scripture.
You turned my memory
into evidence
and made me testify against myself.
You called control “love,”
confusion “care,”
and when I bled
you asked why I was so difficult.
I learned to apologize
for reactions you caused,
to doubt instincts
that once kept me alive.
But understand this,
gaslight fades
when the truth stops asking permission.
I am not crazy.
I was conditioned.
And conditioning wears off.
I reclaimed my voice,
sharpened my clarity,
and walked out with my mind intact.
You no longer get access
to my reality.
I am the ending
you couldn’t rewrite.
