take two,   and let   the cameras roll—   flip the script,   you tried to   rewrite the blame.   but the lens   is cracked,   the angles don’t lie,   and this story   won’t end   the same.   let’s move past   the charade—   acting only works   until the mask   falls away.   we’re both   to blame,   but only one   kept staging   the pain.   i could pretend,   but this is   the end—   a close-up   on the fallout   of the reckless   and the brave.   take two—   lights,   camera,   reaction.   this is my scene   now,   my cut,   MY flame.   and you   can’t steal   the spotlight   from me   again.

bang, blame, exit frame
take two,   and let   the cameras roll—   flip the script,   you tried to   rewrite the blame.   but the lens   is cracked,   the angles don’t lie,   and this story   won’t end   the same.   let’s move past   the charade—   acting only works   until the mask   falls away.   we’re both   to blame,   but only one   kept staging   the pain.   i could pretend,   but this is   the end—   a close-up   on the fallout   of the reckless   and the brave.   take two—   lights,   camera,   reaction.   this is my scene   now,   my cut,   MY flame.   and you   can’t steal   the spotlight   from me   again.
A lyrical burn letter for the ones who rewrite history but forget who's holding the mic now. I’m not stuck in your story. I’m filming my own. 🎬
