I Need Distance

I used to plan how I'd make it. Even rehearse the words I'd finally say. But every version of that conversation Just kept me standing in yesterday. Revenge would only tie me closer to the very Thing I'm trying to leave behind. I don't wanna carry you anymore. Not in my hands, not in my mind. I don't need revenge. I need distance, distance to breathe, Distance to heal. What you did doesn't own my emotions. You don't get to decide how I feel. I need Distance. And I'm finally giving myself the space to feel. I used to think peace meant they'd have to Pay. Now I know peace wasn't mine to take. I can let it go without a single word And still walk away whole, not for their sake, For my own sake. For my own sake. Some things aren't mine to carry. Some things I can finally set down, Let it be handled by something bigger than me. I don't have to hold the whole weight. I don't have to wear the crown. I don't need revenge. I need distance, distance to breathe, Distance to heal. What you did doesn't own my emotions. You don't get to decide how I feel. I need Distance. And I'm finally giving myself the space to feel. I don't need revenge. I need distance, distance to breathe, Distance to heal. What you did doesn't own my emotions. You don't get to decide how I feel. I need distance. Revenge was never as sweet as This peace I feel.
