This Is Enough

I do not blame you. I do not forgive you. I will live my life accordingly.

You were broken long before I was born. I am not responsible for you. I will live my life accordingly.

Your inability to love me is about you. I am infinitely lovable. I will live my life accordingly.

My boundaries are not an attack on you. They are an act of self-love. I will live my life accordingly.

I believed the lies you told me. I don’t believe them any more. I will live my life accordingly.

I don’t have to explain myself. The truth doesn’t require your acknowledgement. I will live my life accordingly.

I have suffered for you. I won’t do that again. I will live my life accordingly.

I’m not holding out for your crumbs any more.

This is enough.

Susan
