DONT CONFUSE ME

Don’t confuse my kindness…

With permission.

⸻

I been quiet, not weak, learn the difference

I been kind, not blind, still attentive

They mistake my grace for forgiveness

Then get shocked when I move with intention

Smile in my face with a motive

Speak behind my back like I owe them

I don’t warn, I don’t post, I don’t notice

I just cut ties clean and refocus

⸻

I gave love where it wasn’t returned

Stayed calm while bridges got burned

Now I move how I should’ve before

Protectin’ my heart like it’s war

⸻

Don’t confuse me, I’m nice not naive

I see things, I just let people leave

I don’t beg, I don’t chase, I don’t plead

I just disappear peacefully

Don’t confuse me, I’m soft but I’m strong

I been healed, I don’t hold things too long

You don’t lose me, you lose access

I’m still good, I just moved on

⸻

I been peepin’ the envy, the slick talk

Same support fade when you lift off

They want favors, opinions, excuses

I want silence, consistency, movement

I ain’t petty, I’m precise with it

I don’t argue, I revise limits

If you cross me, I don’t get loud

I just move like you were never around

⸻

I used to take blame just to keep peace

Now I let things break if they need to

If loving you cost me myself

Then that love wasn’t meant to be useful

⸻

Don’t confuse me, I’m nice not naive

I been hurt but I learned how to leave

I don’t crash, I don’t beg, I don’t scream

I just glow where you can’t reach

Don’t confuse me, I’m calm not afraid

Setting boundaries is growth, not shade

You don’t lose me, you lose access

I’m still kind, just evolved, okay

⸻

I didn’t change.

I just stopped explaining.
