Away from the gathering where trust fade,
I am out, my choice is made.
A lady bold, with heart aligned,
Detached from webs that falsehood bind.
In echoes soft, where whispers lie,
I sensed betrayal, a bitter sigh.
Negativity, a toxic brew,
I am out, my spirit flew.
With grace, I stepped away,
A dance of strength, a lone ballet.
No longer tethered to deceit,
I found my solace, in retreat.
The moon, my witness, silent, wise,
As I broke free from woven ties.
No longer bound by shadows cast,
I am out, my peace amassed.
