Shattered Reign

It was my turn…

I set my life ablaze,
And left everything I knew behind.
It was the first time in forever that I’d felt safe.
Safe from other people’s expectations.
Safe from the person who was following my every move.
But I was far away from the one I loved the most.
It was a sacrifice I needed to make to keep myself safe.
…Until protecting myself was no longer an option.
