i'm free.i'm no longer weighed down by responsibilities i stacked on my own shoulders.
i'm no longer suffocating myself in order to keep someone's love.
i'm no longer feeding into the belief that i'm someone special.
i'm no longer killing myself over gaining someone's validation.
i'm no longer afraid of people tearing me down behind the scenes.
i'm free.
