He tells me to decide,
until my choice isn’t the “obvious” one.
Then I’m not using my brain.
So I stop choosing at all.

They say they love you.
Yet if your feelings don’t fit,
you’re a burden.
If their words cut deep,
it’s your fault.
If you feel exhausted,
get over it.

I speak less these days.
Not for lack of words,
but because each echo carries his voice,
and I no longer have the strength
to argue back.

The words may leave your lips as light as a feather,
yet land with the force of a rock.

They last only seconds in the air,
but the crater they leave
can last a lifetime.

It’s not one comment that undoes you.
It’s the quiet repetition, so small you barely notice…
Until one day you look in the mirror,
and the person staring back is only a shadow of who you were.
