A Lie for a Lie

You gave me a lie, so I handed one back not to play the game, but to see how it felt to hold my own power. I realized quickly: a lie for a lie doesn’t break anyone, it just reveals who we really are. And I saw myself clearly for the first time unshaken, unbent, choosing honesty even when it hurts, knowing my worth isn’t measured by the lies I tolerate. So keep your stories, your half-truths, your clever disguises. I’m busy building a life where truth is my shield, my fire, my freedom. A lie for a lie? No. I rise above it, and I let it teach me that I am stronger, smarter, and untouchable by anyone who can’t stand my truth.
