Ego

[Noire]

I know how to hurt with words,
but I also know how to walk away in silence.
Sometimes my ego looks like arrogance,
but deep inside, my heart still knows how to love.
Life isn't about winning every battle,
it's about winning without losing yourself.
Not every silence is weakness,
and not every distance means hatred.

This hits so close to home. What people mistake for arrogance is often just the exhaustion of protecting yourself. Words can hurt but walking away in silence means choosing to keep your soul intact. We don't build these walls to lock people out we build them to keep our ability to love safe from being crushed by the noise.
