In a world where words wound more than swords, I find myself tangled in a web of emotions, unable to break free. Why is it that I struggle to utter that simple two-letter word, "no," when every "yes" chips away at my soul? The echoes of your judgments reverberate in my mind, a constant reminder of my worth in your eyes. Yet, here I remain, a captive of your fleeting attention, craving validation in a desert of indifference.

You paint me with your words, a portrait of insecurities and doubts, oblivious to the scars that lie beneath the surface. You see the facade I wear, the mask of smiles and laughter, but you're blind to the tears that stain my pillow in the silence of night. Each careless comment, each casual remark, a dagger aimed at my fragile heart, tearing down the walls I painstakingly built to shield myself.

I dance to the tune of your whims, a puppet in a play where you hold all the strings. Your words, once sweet melodies, now ring hollow in my ears, a cacophony of false promises and shallow affections. The mirror reflects a distorted image, a reflection of the beauty you once praised, now tarnished by the shadows of doubt you cast upon me.

Yet, amidst the chaos of emotions and the storm of conflicting feelings, a whisper of realization emerges. I am more than the sum of your words, more than the validation I seek in your gaze. I am a phoenix rising from the ashes of broken dreams, reclaiming my worth, my strength, and my voice.
