No more abuse. Abuse ends here, with the decision to move away, to talk, or fight back. It make it with someone that's saying, "I matter. " When a past silenced voice dares to stand up the din. Abuse is not what's always physical; at times, words cut deeper, even than any sword. It's control disguised as concern, isolation veiled as care.

But no more.

Stop shrinking to suit someone else's comfort zone. No more begging to be treated like a human being. No more pretending to be in love while feeling terrified. The mask has slipped. The reality is clear.

This is where freedom begins. Within limits, courage discovered. In the quiet moment, someone selects themselves.

No more excuses. Those who harm and conceal will not be given a second chance. No further abuse.

Because survival isn't enough; we deserve peace.
