That pride they parade? Just fear with a fancy belt buckle. That control? A costume stitched out of shame. You weren’t just someone they fed off; you were their fire. And now that the spotlight’s gone, they’re left rehearsing lines in the dark—alone, always alone. Because what they can’t fake is the one thing you gave freely: truth.

And the silence you hold now? That’s not empty; that’s sacred. That’s you reclaiming your power—not with noise, but with peace. You don’t need to shout; you don’t need to post receipts.
