⋆˙⟡ You can hold onto people all you want, but you cannot change them to love you the way you need them to.
Beg them to see your point of view, or give things time when clearly they are taking up yours.
You cannot paint over cracks, when they are hitting the floor with force creating them.
There is no growth, just war. They claim battle, on your soul, your body.
And, we fight for this? And, we call ourselves broken for this?
You do not need permission from this type of validation; they already destroyed yours.
You are not broken.
