You never misunderstood by chance
You ignored my words to make them small
If you faced the truth I carry
You'd see yourself wrapped in it all
❌❌❌
You act confused. You play the part
Pretend you don't know what I mean
Its avoidance dressed as innocence
A mask to keep your conscience clean
❌❌❌
You don't care about the pain or tears
or the boundaries I try to keep
You ignore it all to spare your pride
and leave me to cry myself to sleep
❌❌❌
It's not a lack of understanding
It's the way you choose to turn away
You play the victim. Dodge the blame
and I'm the one who has to pay
❌❌❌
So, don't tell me you didn't know
Your words were never pure defense
You choose to twist. To hide. To run.
Avoidance dressed as innocence.

I took my son and niece to Gori, a small town in Georgia where Joseph Stalin was born. They talked me into visiting the Stalin's Museum, the largest in the post-Soviet space. I had resisted going there because I just can't stand the monster and know enough about him, or so I thought.

Ugh, the fake behavior hiding behind a mask, and the gaslighting...this held so much emotion. Wonderfully penned :)
