I could tell you I am fine
that your words did not hurt
that your actions did not burn
and that your decision did not broke

I could prove that I am fine
by laughing when next to you
by smiling at you
by thanking you

or I could show you my pain
by not being able to look at you
by ending any chance of conversation
by breaking down
and down and down repeatedly

I could do all that and more
but I won't
I will not give you the satisfaction
to know that you have broken me
to know that what you did was fine
and to know that in the end it was nothing

I can not look at you
it hurts
I can not talk to you
it burns
I can not thank you
because it was me you broke

in the end
what I do, is for me
how I do it, is for me
so no
I will not prove myself
I will not show you myself
and I will not tell you about myself
that is privilege that I can no longer trust you with
because you
you hurt me
you burned me
and you broke me

I can no longer have my trust in you
I will no longer depend on you

I will be stronger
I will be wiser
I will be me
