i've heard you've had questions
on where i've been
but never about who i'm with
how my wellbeing is "important"
yet your curiosity is superior to my comfort
well guess what?
i've been happy
calm
better
loved
respected
supported
i've been growing
learning
healing
laughing
loving
flowing
so pause this faux pas of compassion
its just nosiness (you know where you can shove that)
and a violation of the one thing i asked- no
demanded
because you never listened to requests, nor cries, nor screams
but now you're left with the silence
enjoy.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

This must have felt so freeing to write. It reads like it was.
I definitely feel this. It's a great feeling to get rid of the jerks in your life, eh?
A life well lived is the best revenge. This poem was very well written. I loved the flow and the emphasis of everything positive in your life by listing them in single word lines. I truly hope you are happy and at peace and whoever is fortunate to spend time with you lifts you and let's you find your best self.
I just stopped talking completely with people who done me wrong. I do not expect them to care what happen to me. I hope this help you release the toxic feeling from that relationship?
I feel this, maybe in a different situation, but it resonates. My circumstances are not a salve to someone's pangs of indifference
That's amazing…let them know to leave you alone. And you are doing well without them. 💯 love this.
