you dont get to define me
You studied me like broken language
Like I was something to explain
Spoke in cold and borrowed answers
Never touched an ounce of pain
Every mirror held a stranger
Every birthday felt like loss
Learned to hide inside the silence
Learned exactly what it costs
You only saw the smoke
Never where the fire began
I am not your war to fight
Not your fear to weaponize
Not a target for your anger
Just because I chose my life
I bled to become this person
Through every scar you left behind
Say whatever helps you sleep
You don’t get to define me
you dont get to define me
You disguise contempt as concern
Wrap your cruelty up as care
Never seeing what your words do
Never feeling what lives there
How many break behind closed doorways
Trying hard to just survive?
How many learn to hate their breathing
Just to keep your world alive?
Your black-and-white world never fit
A heart that had to fight to live
I am not your war to fight
Not your fear to weaponize
Not a target for your anger
Just because I chose my life
I bled to become this person
Through every scar you left behind
Say whatever helps you sleep
You don’t get to define me
you dont get to define me
There were nights I begged for silence
Thought disappearing meant relief
But the voice beneath the wreckage
Still refused to leave me
I AM NOT YOUR WAR TO FIGHT
NOT YOUR FEAR TO WEAPONIZE
I SURVIVED YOUR EXPECTATIONS
AND I CAME OUT ALIVE
I bled to become this person
I won’t disappear this time
Say whatever helps you sleep
You don’t get to define me
you dont get to define me
