I feel trapped .
I feel trapped by this walls made by family.
By expectations and the harsh truths of reality.
Such a beautiful word, family.
Yet how can something so divine,
The one thing that is supposed to protect you
And nurture you,
How can it feel so negatively embracing?
Why is it that instead of feeling warmth and love,
I feel anxious,
I feel angry,
I feel hateful.
Anxious from the responsibilities burdening me.
Angry from the lack of freedom that I have.
Hateful for the way they're making me look at family.
And even so, admitting all these feelings
Writing down all these thoughts
They only make me hate myself more.

Love yourself.
Your own happiness is important.
Worship your body.
You don't need a man for that.
Enlighten yourself
Spiritually and mentally.
Laugh, cry, scream,
Feel everything and anything.
Embrace life and positivity.
Accept your flaws.
Forgive your mistakes.
Rediscover your identity.
Say goodbye to all the poison.
You are strong.
You are beautiful.
Show love and compassion.
Fight your fears and the hate.
Overcome them but don't forget them.
Be a lady.
Be brilliant.
Do not let anyone own you.
You deserve the best.
You are the best.
