I don't break, I document

Real talk response to threats and false claims-silence doesn't mean weakness.

She came at me loud on the feed and the phone, throwin' threats like stones, wanna crush my tone.

Didn’t know the work I’ve done behind the scenes, got receipts, got files, I don’t do dreams.

Accused me wrong, tried to twist the facts, Family ties don’t excuse that kind of attack.

They talk like truth is just a trend, But I walk with proof that doesn't even bend.

They play on pain, chase fundraiser fame, While I guard my father’s name in the flame.

They think education means fancy degrees, But I write justice in simple and freeze.

I speak clear so all ears can catch, I match grace with a verbal dispatch.

They tried to shake me, hoped I’d fold, But I document cold, and I don’t get sold.

So next time threats come wrapped in a lie, I reply like a file-organized, dry.

With love for my name, respect for my past, I stand my ground, my truth holds fast.

Reviews

[Ayesha Faiz]

This piece is powerful and fierce like a strong statement wrapped in rhythm. It’s clear, confident, and unshaken. The way you mix personal pain with strength shows real emotional depth. You defend your truth with facts, not just feelings, and that's what makes the message even stronger. The lines about justice, education, and protecting your father’s name hit especially hard, like you're not just speaking for yourself but for something bigger. It’s not just a poem, it’s a stand bold, unapologetic, and full of pride. Amazing work.

Thank you, Ayesha, for taking the time to read and connect so deeply with this piece.

This poem comes from a very recent and personal situation, my father passed in 2023, and after his passing, extended relatives used his name to raise funds online. I approached them respectfully, asking for transparency, and in return was met with false accusations and threats.

What they didn’t know is that I had already gathered documented evidence. But this was never just about proof, it was about their integrity, and whether they would own the harm they caused.

Your review means a great deal because you understood the heart behind it. I don’t break--I document, not just for myself, but in defense of truth and legacy.

[Ayesha Faiz]

Thank you for sharing such a personal and emotional story. I'm truly sorry for your loss. It’s heartbreaking that people used your father’s name in such a wrong way after his passing. You showed a lot of strength by asking for the truth calmly, even when they responded unfairly. Yet, you still stood strong and focused on protecting your father's legacy. That sure must've asked for lots of confidence and strength. Your words are powerful, and I’m glad my message could offer you some support. You’re doing the right thing by standing up for truth with dignity. Don't give up and keep fighting for what's right. Don't let the world brainwash you with their sweet lies to make you stop from what you're doing.
