Protecting My Peace

I used to shrink myself just to keep you Interested. Call the anxiety butterflies, call the Silence normal. If you're only here to take my time or Trust, my energy, I don't want it, Not anymore, not for one more night. I'm not asking for perfect, I'm asking for real. Show up, stay steady, mean what you say. Because temporary excitement isn't worth my peace. I'd rather sit alone With a clear mind and lie awake in Chaos. This is me protecting my peace. Not sorry, not settling, not asking Permission. I'd rather be alone in silence than Surrounded and still feel unseen. Loyalty over attention, consistency Over sparks. Bring me something real or don't bring me anything At all. Oh-oh, Oh-oh, Oh-oh. oh. Being alone stopped scaring me a while ago. Losing my mind over someone never did. Good looks fade. Chemistry isn't a foundation. I need more than a feeling that only lasts A weekend. I stopped mistaking chaos for passion. Stopped calling exhaustion love. If loving myself means staying single, I already know that I can live with that. This is me protecting my peace. Not sorry, not settling, not asking Permission. I'd rather be alone in silence than Surrounded and still feel unseen. Loyalty over attention, consistency Over sparks. Bring me something real or don't bring me anything At all. Oh-oh, Oh-oh, oh-oh,
