“To the One Who Changed Sides”
You used to speak the truth.
You warned me about them.
You saw what I saw—the red flags, the patterns, the harm disguised as friendship.
You were the one who said, *"They’ll never change. They don’t know how to value people."*
You stood beside me when I chose peace over pretense, when I walked away from the damage.
But somewhere along the way, that changed.
Not because they became better.
Not because the story shifted.
But because we disagreed.
And instead of standing on the truth you once defended,
you crossed over to the very side you warned me against.
Now you sit beside them.
Now you echo the same silence, the same shade you once helped me call out.
You act like history never happened.
Like their actions never hurt.
Like your words didn’t once match mine.
That’s not loyalty. That’s convenience.
That’s not growth. That’s compromise.
And it stings—not just because you switched sides,
but because you abandoned the truth you once believed in.
Let me say this:
I don’t need an army to stand in truth.
I don’t need your validation to know who I am.
I see what you chose, and I release it.
Because alignment rooted in bitterness will never blossom into anything real.
And friendships built on shifting ground will always fall apart.
I still stand where I stood—
with peace, with clarity, with self-respect.
I didn’t switch sides. I just stopped choosing people who never truly chose me.
So go ahead. Let your loyalty be flexible.
But mine stays where the truth lives.
And that's where I’ll always remain.
