I choose me.
I love you. But I love myself more.
Because I need to.
Because if I don’t, no one else will.
I walk away, you say.
Yes, I walk away.
Every time I feel devalued, degraded, or ignored: I walk away.
Every time you stab me with your words formed from misplaced fear, stress, and anger: I walk away.
I will walk away from what does not serve me and my higher purpose.
You think the worst of me. You disagree with everything I am. That’s fine.
I walk away.
I walk away.
I send you light and love.
I walk away and continue on my path while you continue on yours.
