"PERFORMANCE......"

You wore truth like a costume,  

Tailored it to fit my eyes.  

Spoke in a voice so steady,  

Even the lies sounded like vows...  

something I never doubted.

I trusted you, I bought every lie  

and you played me perfectly.

I brought my whole heart to the table,  

Bare, bleeding, and believing.  

You brought a script.  

And clapped when I cried on cue.

How can someone be so fake?_

And sleep so easy at night?  

Because people like me feel everything,  

And people like you feel nothing.

To you I was a joke, someone you chose  

every other person over —  

and to me, you were my priority!

But watch this —  

The day I stop clapping,  

Your whole stage goes dark.  

And I?  

I finally get to meet the real me again.

The show is over and I'm taking myself out of your cheap theatre!

You thought I'd beg for an encore,  

Linger where I wasn't loved.  

But darling, I have finally learned —  

Some doors are closed because heavens above decided I deserve more than half-love and lies.

So take a bow. The curtains close.

You keep your act.

I get my peace.

Keep your lies and I keep my sanity!🥺😪💔
