I Choose My Own Ending

I've lived inside stories others wrote for me— chapters of blame, pages of silence, footnotes of regret. But I am not bound to their narrative. I am not the villain or the victim they needed me to be. I am the author of my own release. I am the witness to my own repair. I am the keeper of a truth that breathes without apology. I choose endings that honor my dignity. I choose beginnings that carry no shame. I choose the middle where healing lives, where honesty walks, where peace is mine to claim. Because legacy isn't what they say. It's what I decide to keep. And I decide to keep myself whole.
