They tried to break me by rewriting the truth,
twisting my words, reshaping my story,
and selling a polished version of themselves
to hide the cracks in their own character.
But lies always turn on the one who carries them.
Falsehood is a heavy burden —
and eventually it collapses under its own weight.
I will not chase proof.
I will not beg to be believed.
I will not exhaust myself trying to correct
the stories others tell to protect their image.
What is rotten cannot stay standing.
What is built on deception cannot last.
What is rooted in darkness cannot survive the light.
And when their falsehood finally falls —
as all lies eventually do —
I will already be living beyond their reach.
Intact.
Unafraid.
Unbothered.
And finally free.
Because God Himself is my defender.
He sees what others pretend not to see.
He knows the truth I carry in my heart.
He knows the purity of my intentions.
He knows the battles I fought quietly.
He knows the pain I endured silently.
And He will vindicate me in His time.
Not through revenge,
but through elevation.
Not through exposure,
but through peace.
Not through proving them wrong,
but through proving Himself faithful.
I am not defined by their lies.
I am defined by God’s truth.
And that truth will always outlive the stories told about me.
