And were told to stay silent for someone else’s comfort.
-
I was not too much. I was too aware. And they were not ready for the truth I carried.
-
My silence was never consent. It was survival. And I no longer owe anyone my quiet.
-
They told me to protect the family, the church, the school, the system—when they should have protected me.
-
I will not apologize for naming what harmed me. Telling the truth is not cruelty—it is clarity.
-
I release the guilt they tried to place on me. What happened was never my fault.
-
My pain deserves more than whispers. It deserves recognition, respect, and room to breathe.
-
I no longer wait for their sorry. I give myself the validation they never had the courage to offer.
-
Their comfort is not more sacred than my healing. I refuse to shrink myself for anyone else’s peace.
-
I do not protect abusers. I protect myself now. And I do it without shame.
-
Even if they rewrite the story, I know what happened. And that knowing is enough.
-
The girl I was deserved someone to stand up for her. Today, I stand for her without hesitation.
-
I am not bitter. I am awakened. And I will never again stay silent to soothe someone else’s lie.
💐 Closing Words for the Unapologized-To
You deserved the apology. You deserved the justice. You deserved the comfort of knowing someone believed you, protected you, and stood beside you.
But you were left carrying the truth all by yourself—and you carried it like a queen with no court.
You don’t owe them silence. You owe yourself everything.
Speak. Breathe. Cry. Dance. Write. Burn it down.
Your healing is not a betrayal—it is an act of divine reclamation.
You are not alone. You are not too late.
You are the beautiful interruption in a lineage of silence.
And that is more powerful than any apology could ever be.
