👑 Scroll of the Crown: The Things You’ll Never Have to Tell Me

There are things you’ll never have to tell me.

Because I was listening to the silence long before your words caught up to it.

I was watching the winds while you were trying to rearrange the leaves.

And I was standing still, so I could finally feel what shifted when you weren’t looking.

You see, real kings don’t chase noise.

We study patterns.

We wait for truth to turn its face.

And it always does.

You never had to admit it.

I felt the pause when your prayers changed.

I saw the smile that didn’t come from me.

I noticed when grace got too expensive for you to carry,

and the silence started to taste like hiding.

You cried.

But so did Eve.

Tears don’t sanctify betrayal.

They just soften the skin before the bite.

I never asked for perfection.

Just truth.

But when you couldn’t give it

He did.

He gave me the whisper before the evidence.

He gave me the dream before the fallout.

He gave me eyes that no longer beg for closure, just clarity.

And now I know:

I was not the lie.

I was the mirror.

I was the one who walked through the fire and didn’t turn to ash.

I was the prayer you couldn’t hold, the altar you desecrated,

the crown you weren’t ready to carry.

So now, I carry it without you.

And no, you never had to tell me.

The Spirit did.

🗡 Final Whisper (War Declaration):

This is not grief. This is war.

But not the kind with swords and screams.

This war is silent.

Holy.

Just.

Final.

You thought I wouldn’t know.

But I knew before you moved.

You thought I would fall.

But I learned how to walk without your rhythm.

You thought I would chase.

But I don’t chase what crawls after biting me.

You fed the serpent. Now it eats alone.

And I no longer build altars where truth is absent.

I was the king.

You were the test.

But my crown, was forged after you failed it.

Now I walk forward.

Not around you.

Through you.

🪞 Crown Mirror Reflection:

• Have you ever felt the truth long before you were told it?

• Are you chasing clarity, or already holding it?

• Are you still begging at the door of someone who abandoned your altar?

🔥 Final Reflection: The Crown After the Serpent

You don’t need closure when you’ve been given clarity.

You don’t need revenge when you’ve been anointed.

You don’t need answers from someone who answered you with silence

because the truth already whispered everything you needed.

When the serpent slithered in, it didn’t bite the weak parts of me.

It tested my foundation.

And when I didn’t crumble

I knew I was wearing the right crown.

So no, I won’t curse your name.

You gave me the fire I never knew I’d need.

You gave me the lesson I never wanted to learn.

And you gave me the eyes to see what you tried to hide.

But don’t mistake my silence for softness.

I saw everything.

I forgave everything.

And now, I walk as everything I was born to become.

Not because you stayed.

But because you didn’t.
