‘I didn’t speak badly about you – I spoke about what you did to me. If that makes you look bad, that’s not my problem anymore.’
~ Miley Cyrus
You chose the behaviour
You tried to choose how I reacted
You tried to determine how the world saw me
And succeeded
To a point
I saw through you
You didn’t like that
And you still don’t
I will still keep talking about it
You don’t get to take away my voice
No matter how much you dislike me
No matter how much you try to bully me to get your way
No matter how much you try to engage in reactive abuse
No matter how many times you rearrange your playbook
You do not get to determine how I use my voice
To speak of how you treated me
