The Weight You Chose

(hummmm) You stood in front of every mirror,

Calling yourself a king.

But crowns

don't make a ruler,

When your heart can't carry a thing.

I saw a fire nobody noticed,

A future hidden in your eyes.

I cheered the loudest from the shadows,

While you kept choosing your disguise.

I fought for dreams you never chased.

I loved the man you could have been.

But every bridge I tried to build,

You burned before I'd walk across again.

You lost the one who believed in you,

When the whole world had turned away.

I saw greatness where nobody looked,

But you threw every chance away.

Weak isn't falling— Weak is refusing to grow.

Pride became your prison,

And now you're standing there alone.

You didn't lose because life was unfair.

You lost because you never faced yourself.

Selfish words and empty promises,

Manipulation dressed as love.

Always reaching for control,

While pushing away what you dreamed of.

Your arrogance became your armor,

Your ego wrote the ending scene.

You called it strength to never change,

But strength is healing what's unseen.

I carried hope until my shoulders broke.

I poured belief into empty hands.

I couldn't save someone determined To sink beneath the life they planned.

Now I release the weight I carried.

It's yours to hold—not mine to bear.

I won't keep watering a garden That never cared enough to grow.

You lost the one who prayed for you,

Who saw your light before it shined.

The one who would've walked beside you Through every mountain left to

climb. Now I'm choosing peace instead of pain.

My heart won't beg for what won't bloom.

I'll never apologize for leaving The room you filled with your own

doom. One day you'll remember— Not the words we said in anger,

But the person who believed in you

Long after you stopped believing in yourself.

I wasn't your loss because I walked away.

You made it your loss… The day you chose your pride over

becoming the man you were always capable of being.
