I walked through hell for people who wouldn’t even walk through an open door for me. I gave everything—my strength, my heart, my endless patience—and all I got in return was silence, neglect, or worse, betrayal.

I burned bridges just to keep them warm.

I fought battles they never knew existed.

I stayed when I should have left.

I smiled when I wanted to cry.

And still, they didn’t move an inch for me.

But now I know—

some people don’t deserve the effort you gave.

Some hearts won’t ever match your loyalty.

And that’s not your failure…

that’s theirs.

So I no longer chase those who stood still while I ran through fire.

I rise.

I release.

And I protect what remains of my soul.
