They Deserved Your Rage, but Your Control Became Their Downfall

you're sitting there aren't you thinking wondering why why you why now why them the wise are eating you alive carving you up from the inside out making you feel like some little broken puzzle piece piece that'll never fit anywhere and you want to scream don't you tear the whole damn world apart just to find 1 ounce of fairness in it but you won't you're too nice too understanding too godamn reasonable let me guess you keep thinking maybe it's your fault maybe if you'd said something different been someone better done more then they wouldn't have treated

you like garbage then they wouldn't have spat on your kindness laughed at your vulnerability and walked away like you were nothing more than a shadow on the sidewalk you fool you absolute beautiful fool let me explain something to you people like them they don't change they don't wake up one morning and suddenly grow a conscience no they feed on people like you people who care too much who hope too much who feel too much your kindness was never a shield it was a godamn invitation and you know what they accepted they ate from your table

drank from your cup and then smashed it all to pieces the second they were full do you think they cared ha no they didn't even think about you afterward not once while you're sitting here drowning in the ocean of your own questions they're out there laughing moving on treating the next poor sucker the same way they treated you but here's the real kicker your anger it means nothing to them it's like a dog barking at a hurricane they'll watch they'll smirk and then they'll go back to ignoring you they don't deserve your rage what they

deserve is your indifference that my friend is the one thing they can't handle the moment you stop caring when their words their opinions their very existence stop mattering that's when you win that's when you strip away their power and leave them standing there hollow irrelevant insignificant you see people like them thrive on attention good or bad your anger feeds them just as much as your love did but your indifference that's a wound they can't heal that's a prison they can't escape it's like ripping the spotlight away and leaving them to rot in the dark unnoticed

and forgotten but here's the problem you're too soft you still want to understand them you still want to believe there's good in everyone huh let me tell you something it's a lie not everyone deserves to be understood not everyone is worth saving some people they're just broken mirrors all they'll ever do is reflect your flaws and distort your light until you can't recognize yourself anymore so stop trying to fix them stop trying to fix anything fix yourself pick up those shattered pieces they left behind but don't put them back together the same way no no

no build something new something sharper stronger something that won't shatter the next time someone tries to break you do you know know what the worst part of all this is It's not their disrespect it's the way you've disrespected yourself you let them walk all over you you let their words get under your skin let their actions define your worth why because you thought they cared because you thought you mattered to them wake up they didn't care you mattered to you and that should have been enough but it wasn't was it because deep down you don't

think you're enough you're still looking for someone else to validate you to tell you that you're worthy that that you're strong that you're enough here's the truth kid no one's coming to save you no one's going to Pat you on the back and tell you it's all going to be okay you have to do that for yourself you have to be your own hero your own savior your own godamn Warrior because the world it doesn't care about you it never has and it never will but that's the beauty of it when you stop waiting for

the world to give you something when you stop needing its approval it's validation it's love that's when you become Unstoppable that's when you take all that pain all that anger all that godamn emptiness and you turn it into power do you hear me you take it all all the disrespect the Betrayal the loneliness and you use it let it fuel you let it drive you let it Forge you into something so unbreakable so untouchable that the next time someone tries to hurt you they'll break themselves against you because here's the thing they disrespected you because

they thought you were weak they thought you'd crumble that you'd Fade Away prove them wrong show them that their disrespect didn't destroy you it transformed you show them that their biggest mistake wasn't n underestimating you it was thinking they could hurt you in the first place so go ahead let them talk let them laugh let them live in their little bubbles of delusion thinking they've won because one day when they least expect it they'll look for you they'll look for the version of you they once knew the one they thought they could control manipulate destroy

and you know what they'll find nothing because that version of you is gone dead buried and in its place a godamn force of nature their disrespect deserved anger but your indifference but that's far worse and when they feel feel it when they truly understand it they'll regret every second they ever took you for granted but by then it'll be too late you're still here aren't you still listening still clinging to that threat of Hope huh hope funny little thing isn't it they like to call it a light a guide a spark but you know what

I call it a chain because hope is what keeps you tied to them it's what drags you back every time you try to break free you hope they'll change that they'll come back that they'll apologize that they'll make things right let me tell you something hope is the crul estok life ever played on you it Whispers sweet lies into your ear keeps you waiting keeps you forgiving keeps you bleeding and all the while they're out there living their lives unbothered unscathed completely unaware of the storm they left raging inside you do you know what they'd

say if they saw you like this if they knew how much space they still occupy in your mind they'd laugh oh they try to hide it of course play it cool act like they care but deep down they'd feel satisfied because people like them they thrive on control they need to know they still have a hold on you even if it's just a thread cut the thread no more waiting no more wondering no more replaying every little moment in your head searching for answers you'll never get because the truth is there are no ansers sometimes

people are just cruel sometimes they're selfish sometimes they hurt you not because of anything you did but because of who they are or who they'll never be you gave them a chance didn't you hell you gave them a thousand chances you gave them your time your trust your love your forgiveness and what did they give you in return lies manipulation pain and still you sit here trying to find a way to make sense of it all you don't get it do you you're not supposed to make sense of it it's not your job to untangle

the mess they made that's on them you didn't break anything you didn't fail anyone they did and yet here you are carrying the weight of their sins on your shoulders like some kind of martyr but let me tell you something about Martyrs they die they always die and you you're not going to die for them not emotionally not mentally not physically no you're going to live and you're going to live so God damn well that it'll haunt them they'll see your name your face your success and it'll eat at them like a cancer Oh They'll

act like it doesn't bother them they'll pretend they don't care but deep down they'll know they'll feel it the sting of being left behind the ache of knowing they were nothing but a stepping stone for you a lesson a catalyst they'll see you rise and it'll remind them of everything they'll never be but you you won't even notice because by then you'll be so far ahead so far beyond them that their existence will barely register as a memory do you feel it yet that fire that anger that cold unrelenting resolve good hold on to it

let it grow let it consume every doubt every fear every ounce of weakness they left inside you because you're not weak you never were you were just too kind too trusting too human but now now you're something else something harder sharper stronger do you think they'll recognize you the next time they see you they won't because the person you were the one who cared who begged who hoped that person is Gone Dead and in their place a force of nature a godamn storm a storm that doesn't ask for permission that doesn't wait for approval that

tear through everything in its path without a second thought and here's the thing about storms they don't just destroy they cleanse they make way for something new something better so be the the storm be the thing they never saw coming be the lesson they'll never forget but remember this the storm isn't for them it's not about revenge or proving a point it's for you to rebuild to grow to become everything they said you couldn't be not because you want to spite them but because you deserve it because you owe it to yourself to be whole

again to be free and when that day comes when you finally feel the weightlift when their voices fade into nothing and their Shadows no longer linger you'll realize something you'll realize that their disrespect didn't destroy destroy you it didn't Define you it wasn't even about you it was about them their flaws their insecurities their inability to see the value in something as rare as beautiful as powerful as you and that's their loss forever you know what's funny not ha ha funny but that sick ironic twist life loves to serve up it's that the people who

tear you down the most the ones who mock you dismiss you leave you hanging by a thread they're the ones who can't stand their own reflection Oh They'll act like they're Untouchable like they got it all figured out but deep down down they're terrified scared of being forgotten scared of being unimportant scared of being nothing so what do they do they try to make you feel like nothing it's projection plain and simple their weakness their failures their lack of worth they shove it all onto you and because you care because you feel you let it

stick you wear their insecurities like a badge like it's your burden to bear but let me ask you this why why carry their garbage why drag their weight around like it's chained to your ankle they're not thinking about you they're not losing sleep over what they did over what they said no they've moved on so why haven't you because you've been trained to think that letting go is weakness that indifference is cold cruel wrong but here's the truth kid indifference isn't weakness it's not cruelty it's survival it's taking your power back it's saying how you

don't get to live rentree in my head anymore and trust me that scares them more than anything your indifference it's like a mirror showing them exactly what they are nothing that's the real revenge the ultimate come back not anger not tears just silence just nothing you think they'll come back one day don't you you're holding on to that sliver of hope that maybe just maybe they'll realize what they did that they'll apologize make amends beg for your forgiveness but let me save you the suspense they won't because people like them they don't have the guts

they don't have the spine to face what they've done it's easier for them to keep moving to pretend you don't exist to convince themselves that you were the problem and you know what let them let them live in their little delusion let them think they're the heroes of Their Own Story because while they're busy running from the truth you'll be writing a new story a better one one where you don't need their approval their validation their presence you're stronger than this you're stronger than them they wanted to break you to see you fall to watch

you crumble into dust but you're still here still breathing still fighting and that my friend is the ultimate Victory Every Breath You Take every step you move forward it's a slap in their face a reminder that they didn't win but don't get cocky don't let this be about them this isn't their story anymore it's yours and the sooner you stop wasting your energy on their memory the sooner you'll start living real living not this half life you've been stuck in replaying every hurt every betrayal every godamn mistake listen to me because this is the most

important thing I'll ever tell you you're not defined by what they did to you you're not defined by their words their actions their absence you're defined by what you do next by how you rise by how you rebuild and rebuild you must but don't rebuild the old you don't try to put the pieces back exactly as they were because the old you that person let them in that person trusted them forgave them gave them chance after chance the new you the you that comes out of this fire that person doesn't make the same mistakes that

person doesn't settle for scraps doesn't beg for a attention doesn't tolerate disrespect the new you that person demands more expects more is more and that's what terrifies them that's what keeps them up at night because deep down they know you're going to outgrow them you're going to outshine them you're going to become something so extraordinary that their little Minds can't even comprehend it and they'll regret it Oh They'll regret it but by then you won't care by then their regret will mean nothing to you because you'll have moved on you'll have built a life so

full so rich so so powerful that their existence will be nothing more than a faint distant memory so stop wasting your time on them stop giving them space in your head in your heart they don't deserve it they never did and you you deserve so much more you deserve the kind of Life they could never give you the kind of Happiness they could never understand understand so go build it live it be it and when they look for you in the ruins of their own choices when they search for the person they once knew the

person they thought they could control they'll find nothing nothing but the shadow of the storm that changed everything now go prove me right or prove me wrong either way the choice is yours you're still waiting aren't you for someone anyone to tell you it's okay to move on you want permission to let go to stop caring to finally say enough well here it is from me let them go stop holding on to the wreckage as if there's some treasure buried beneath the ruins there isn't you know that don't you you've always known but still you

hold on still you cling to the Past like it's some kind of Lifeline even though it's drowning you let me ask you something what's the point what what are you holding on to a memory a hope a version of them that never even existed you see that's the cruestv you built in your head the one who cared who saw you who valued you but that person they weren't real they were a mask a facade a lie and when the mask slipped when the truth came out you still couldn't let go you kept chasing the illusion

hoping praying that they'd put the mask back on and become the person you wanted them to be but they won't they can't because that person never existed you have to stop running in circles stop holding on to ghosts you're wasting your time your energy your life for what for someone who wouldn't cross the street to save you if you were dying in the gutter for someone who saw your light your fire your soul and decided to Snuff it out just because they could no you're better than this you're stronger than this and deep down you

know it you've always known it that's why their betrayal hurts so much isn't it because they saw the real you the you that's rare unique Irreplaceable and instead of treasuring it they destroyed it not because you weren't enough but because they weren't do you hear me they weren't enough not you you gave them everything your time your trust your love and they squandered it they took something precious and treated it like trash that's not your failure that's theirs and the sooner you realize that the sooner you'll be free but Freedom real Freedom it's not easy

it's not something you just wake up and decide to have it's something you fight for something you claw your way toward inch by Bloody inch and it starts with a choice a simple brutal Choice are you going to keep letting them live in your head rentree tearing you apart from the inside out or are you going to evict them lock the door throw away the key and burn the godamn building to the ground if you have to because that's What It Takes fire destruction a complete and utter obliteration of everything they left behind their words

their lies their fingerprints on your heart burn it all wipe the Slate clean not for them not for Revenge but for you for the person you're going to become for the life you're going to build and let me tell you that life it's going to be beautiful not perfect no Perfection is a lie but it'll be yours every choice every step every Victory it'll be yours and they they'll just be a footnote a cautionary tale a reminder of how far you've come Oh They'll hate it they'll hate seeing you thrive seeing you happy seeing you

Untouchable because people like them they can't stand it when their victims rise it's a blow to their fragile little egos their delusions of power but by then it won't matter because you'll be too far gone too far ahead too far above them for their opinions to mean a damn thing and here's the best part you don't even have to do anything to make them regret what they did just live just succeed just be the person they were too blind too selfish too stupid to see that's all it takes you're existence will be their punishment your

happiness their torment and the best part they'll never admit it they'll pretend they don't care that they've moved on but deep down every time they hear your name every time they see your face it'll sting it'll burn it'll remind them of everything they lost and you you won't even notice because by then you'll you'll be too busy living too busy loving too busy building a life so full so rich so godamn beautiful that their existence will be nothing more than a distant fading Shadow he steps back his arms outstretched his voice Rising into a triumphant

Crescendo so go burn the past build the future be the storm the fire the force of nature that no one can ignore and when they look back when they realize what they lost what they threw away let them sit with that regret let them choke on it but you you'll be free free to live free to grow free to become everything they said you couldn't be and that that's the greatest revenge of all now go prove me right or prove me wrong either way make sure they never forget the day they lost you you know

it's funny people like to think that time heals all wounds that if you wait long enough the pain will fade the scars will vanish and you'll wake up one day feeling whole again but that's a lie a fairy tale for the weak time doesn't heal it only teaches and do you know what it teaches it teaches you who you are when the world stops pretending to care when the people you trusted show you their true colors when the ones you loved turn their backs and leave you bleeding that's when you learn the truth about yourself

about how strong or how weak you really are so tell me what have you learned have you learned to stop chasing after people who don't give a damn about you have you learned to stop apologizing for being yourself have you learned to stop handing out forgiveness like it's candy just because you're afraid of being alone because if you haven't learned those things then then the pain was for nothing their betrayal their disrespect it was all wasted on you and that's the worst thing you can do let your suffering go to waste pain isn't the enemy

kid pain is a teacher pain is a reminder that you're alive that you've got something left to fight for but you you're treating it like a curse like it's something to run from to bury to ignore that's why you're stuck that's why you're still sitting here replaying every word they said every look they gave every godamn moment they made you feel small you don't get to run from this you don't get to bury it you have to face it you have to let it burn through you strip away every lie every illusion every piece of

you that still clings to the Past because that's the only way you're going to come out of this alive and when you do when you Rise From the Ashes they won't recognize you hell you won't even recognize yourself because the person you'll become that person isn't made of glass that person doesn't break when someone decides they don't want them anymore that person doesn't need anyone's approval anyone's love anyone's permission to exist you think I'm being har har good you need harsh you need real because the world isn't going to coddle you it's not going to

hold your hand and tell you everything's going to be okay it's going to kick you in the teeth and laugh while you're on the ground and the only way you're going to survive is if you learn to stop expecting kindness from people who don't know the meaning of the word do you know what the real tragedy is here it's not what they did to you it's what you're doing to yourself you're letting them live in your head letting their words their actions their absence Define you you're giving them power they don't deserve and for what

for closure for understanding for some kind of justice justice that's a good one let me tell you something about Justice it doesn't exist not in the way you think it does the universe doesn't care about right and wrong about fairness about who deserves what the only Justice you're ever going to get is the Justice you create for yourself and do you know what that Justice looks like it's not Revenge it's not making them pay for what they did it's walking away it's living a life so full so incredible so untouchable that their existence becomes irrelevant

that's Justice that's power and that's what you need to focus on but you can't do that until you let go until you stop looking back until you stop letting their Shadows block out your light they don't deserve your thoughts they don't deserve your pain they don't deserve you and when you finally realize that when you finally take back your power they'll feel it oh they won't admit it of course they'll pretend they don't care that you never mattered to them but deep down it'll eat at them it'll haunt them because they'll know they lost something

they'll never get back so what's it going to be kid are you going to keep living in their Shadow letting their actions define you or are you going to step into the light and leave them behind because the choice is yours it's always being yours and the second you make it the second you choose yourself over them you'll be unstoppable and they'll know it they'll feel it and they'll regret it but by then you won't care because you'll be too busy living the life they never thought you could have too busy being the person they

were too blind to see now go be the storm be the fire be Unforgettable you think this is hard you think this pain this betrayal is the worst thing you'll ever face it's not life isn't done with you yet the world is full of people just like them leeches Liars cowards who'll take and take until there's nothing left of you and if you don't learn now right now how to cut them off how to let them drown in their own emptiness then you'll spend the rest of your life as a victim and victims they don't

survive they fade they disappear they die you want to know the truth nobody's coming to save you no one's going to pick you up dust you off and fix what they broke that's your job it's always been your job and the longer you wait the more you waste time hoping for some miracle the more of yourself you'll lose so stop waiting stop bleeding for people who wouldn't shed a tear for you get up fight burn every bridge if you have to but don't you dare let them win don't you dare let them turn you into

a shell of who you were meant to be because here's the harshest truth of all if you don't rise from this if you don't become something stronger something Untouchable then they were right about you every insult every disrespect Every godamn Lie they win if you let this break you and you you weren't born to lose you weren't born to bow down to beg to break so don't you dare give them the satisfaction don't you dare let them walk away thinking they were right prove them wrong prove yourself right or stay here stay small and let

them live in your head forever the choice is yours but time isn't waiting
