My biggest mistake was not silence.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcpg4ESqUy
It was not absence.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3b7sfCaIWi
It was not cruelty.
My biggest mistake was yes.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpM0DD9DxKV
Yes, I am here.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8GdL0k1Oo
Yes, I will listen.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbR63Czye4
Yes, I will help.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmUHxsLPFQ
Yes, I will stay.
I was too available.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdPCMHApVN
Too open.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFXwzuIEzx
Too ready to pour myself out like water into every empty cup.
They came with stories of brokenness,69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gWgcrkPMe
with heavy confessions,69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrt8eawSytY
with promises of redemption69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SJ6N1i1Xf
spoken as if tomorrow would be different.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDlKHHkBTV
And I believed them.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE9ZhRrMe8
I believed in their return to light69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNDRPcH5lQ
more than they believed it themselves.
So I gave.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLfPJGBPqL
I gave until giving became my language.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmL5kwKCX0
I gave until giving became my name.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLtm2id3H8
I gave until I forgot there was a self behind the sacrifice.
I became a well that never ran dry.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqhp2BPiOu
I became a light that never dimmed.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYcLZ1YCDF
I became a door that never closed.
But when my nights grew heavy,69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4YEbGpPmE
when my storms tore through the roof,69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiKLf17JT7
when my voice broke and whispered for help,69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPp8dUnlAy
where were they?
Silence.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECz7nSbP9c
That was the answer.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EAZV68Tqs
Silence louder than screams.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDDyds3iNs
Silence heavier than stone.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaztv2klnNP
Silence that told me the ones I held up69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7bBWhq5JR
never intended to hold me.
And still I stayed.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eAYECRGVA
And still I helped.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyT6dkTLg0m
And still I said yes.
Availability can be a trap.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3jtuCBUiE
A gentle prison.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2pUXHcTGY
A cage made of open hands.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfImnntUKFo
They mistook my presence for obligation.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTH90LH85IK
They mistook my kindness for weakness.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3SU3wgGZF
They mistook my loyalty for endlessness.
And so they took.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO8XCVp9eM
They took until my spirit was threadbare.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJ94ItZ21X
They took until my trust cracked open.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33XB4rgZHo
They took until I no longer believed that people would stay69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNUh2xFtBN
when the help was mine to need.
Trust does not vanish in a single moment.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWmSksfMxI
It erodes, grain by grain,69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2srqp6Czwa
like cliffs crumbling beneath the waves.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEm4YwYP118
Until one day you stand barefoot at the edge69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMdL5aPx0Z
and realize there is no solid ground beneath you.
Do I regret helping?69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHwrxfmd2S
No.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1P4jBt0uoC
The heart that helps is never ugly.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MXGet2nfm
The heart that gives is never wasted.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHoKFgNrsK
But my mistake was believing69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11pb4YhyWv
I had to help at the cost of myself.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnww30TXqX5
My mistake was believing69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwz8shGpWp
that saving others meant I would be saved.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChBMFHwBaS
My mistake was believing69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiIdaDyHWz
that being available to everyone69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqW4gfhiizU
was the same as being loved by anyone.
So now I am learning.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aswrg61D6
Learning that boundaries are not cruelty.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokg4olzD4h
Learning that locked doors are not punishment69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKInmAm5Fkp
but protection.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHzm4bArCk
Learning that time, and trust, and presence69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoZcUmCbry
are sacred things69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNLx34vN6T
and sacred things must be guarded.
Yes, I was too available.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthth6ik2Su
Yes, I was too willing.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDUeii3K4m
Yes, I was too open.
But now I choose.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8zqSEFxyU
I choose who sits at my table.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SeoAZTHNG
I choose who drinks from my well.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEwUTCbGea
I choose who walks through the doorway of my heart.
Because availability without discernment69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61d1OzKw9e
is not kindness.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70k5G9GgaB
It is surrender.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRPD1xfX93
It is erasure.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjRZOqsgbb
It is abandoning myself in the name of love.
And I refuse to abandon myself again.
I will still give,69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppZrKCGosA
but not to those who only take.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrUilTOw8Q
I will still stay,69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AL4HPXjNy
but not for those who walk away when I need them near.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBgcCrOsRC
I will still love,69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1srRYBDyv
but not at the price of forgetting my own worth.
My biggest mistake was always being there.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ptytnm88i
My greatest awakening is learning69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvNIVn9Vli
that I am allowed to choose69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgNHfnEzVs
who is there for me.
