In Your Shadow
A small piece about coming to terms with being mistreated and being ready to walk away from toxic relationships of any kind
—————
You have always needed to be better than me
Always needed to belittle or exclude me in smalls ways
So that only you and I would notice
For the most part, I have allowed this
I opened the door that let your behavior in
I stepped aside to clear a path for you
I dimmed my light so that you could shine
But I know that behind your breaking laugh
and your small stature
You are bigger and darker than you appear
You can disguise that all you want, but you and I know it's there
And I would rather walk alone, than together in your shadow
