Chapter 11 - Reflections of choice

We grew from the same roots,

Yet you chose a path I can't understand.

In the shadows of our shared past,

You drowned in your own darkness,

While I fought to rise above the waves.

You turned our home into a battleground,

Where laughter faded into silence,

And I watched you wear your pain like a mask,

Claiming to be the victim of your own design.

But I learned that some choices cut deep,

And not all wounds can be healed.

You grew with one abuser,

While I'll carry the weight of two,

I thought the world was simply cruel,

But now I see the truth in your reflection—

Some hearts are lost, and some are broken,

And I must walk away from the wreckage,

To find my own light in the ruins.
