I dropped the weight

I do not fight you.

I forgive you.

Then I forget you.

Then I become someone that you will never access again.

You wanted a war,

but I chose peace,

not for you,

for me.

I dropped the weight

you tried to place

on my spirit,

and walked away

lighter.

No revenge.

No noise.

Just release.

I let your name

fade from my memory,

like smoke that never

belonged to my lungs.

I rise,

not to show you,

but to save me.

And the person I become,

stronger, cleaner, clearer,

is someone

you will never

touch again.

Not because I hide.

But because you no longer

exist

in my world.
