Unshackled

They tell her, stay inside,

wrapped in walls built by their fears,

whispering warnings— it’s dangerous out there,

but she sees through the veil of their lies.

It’s not the world that’s cruel,

it’s them—

the ones who hold the leash,

who domesticate, who dictate,

who carve her role in stone and call it love.

They say, relax,

but how can she,

when her hands are full of invisible labor,

when the weight of a home rests upon her back,

when the walls echo with chores that never end?

She is the silent architect of comfort,

the ghost who cleans, cooks, and keeps them fed,

while they roam free, chasing coins and excuses.

And when they return—

oh, how they demand,

worship for mere existence,

admiration for simply showing up.

They call her ungrateful,

a woman never satisfied—

projection, deflection, deception.

A man is made by a woman’s hands,

yet they claim divinity,

blind to the irony, deaf to the truth.

Society bows to them,

but she sees them—

not gods, not kings, not warriors—

just frightened boys in borrowed power,

playing at leadership with empty hearts.

They chase what is easy,

what is shallow,

mistaking lust for love,

mistaking control for connection.

They do not see a real woman,

for a real woman does not sparkle under their gaze,

she burns, she glows from within.

She feels souls, not faces.

And when she leaves—

when she runs so far

that their names become whispers lost in the wind—

it is then that they understand love,

too late, too late.

By then, she has become untouchable,

hardened yet whole,

a phoenix risen from the ashes they tried to bury her in.

She has seen what true self-hatred looks like.

She has witnessed a man destroy himself

just to avoid facing his own reflection.

And in the wreckage, she found herself again—

lost, then found,

shaken, then steady,

torn, then whole.

Now she walks alone,

not because she has no love,

but because solitude is safer than false intimacy.

They call her cold, distant,

but they do not know the battles she fought,

the war she survived.

She is not bitter.

She is not broken.

She is free.

When you eventually know enough is enough. ... #Anxiety #Depression #MentalHealth #MentalHealthAwareness #narcissist #Abuse #youmatter

Finally got that realisation of just having enough.Having enough of being treated like crap by someone who is want to care ,protect and be there for you. Finally understanding that they are not going to change and all you've been doing is allowing them to think it's ok to walk all over you and have no respect. Finally realising that you actually deserve better than having to feel this way because of someone when you already have so much to deal with. Feeling silly for all the tears or hurt you've let it cause you .
Today it's like something has just clicked!and I found myself thinking what the he'll am I doing????why the he'll I allowing myself to be treated and hurt over again .

Not even upset anymore just feel like eventually it's all clicked and there's no more chances .

Hey everyone! I am Sadiya and I am pursuing bachelors in psychology. I have been suffering from anxiety and panic disorder since last two years! I have also been diagnosed with Boderline Personality Disorder .
Life seems too hard, I don’t feel like living at times. For all those people you are going through the same, I know it’s not at all easy to come out of it but believing in yourself is something you can do. Try to stay positive about things that trigger your anxiety:)

So I have been staying at home watching movies, snuggling with my dogs and cat, got some muh needed errands done, crafted some, cleaned some, went to lunch with a friend, and I havent got any calls saying my kids have killed the sub so I guess its ok. #Knowyourworth
