I give my words to them,
despite not wanting to,
yet, they persisted,
and they did not like what they heard.

Who is at fault here, them or me?

I'm not upset by it,
by them making me feel like a bad person,
by them making me feel wrong for my thoughts,
making me feel bad for seeking comfort elsewhere,

If things fade from here,
I do not mind.
I am at peace with reality,
They are simply a luxury, not a requirement.
These words are harsh, yet they reign true.
If they do not like it, then so be it.
No one is forcing them to stay.
