Over the years,
before and during the pandemic,
I’ve been a slave
whose been chained and strangled
in her own emotions.
I’m working
tirelessly, consistently, and peacefully,
so I can finally become
an emotionally liberated woman.
Emotional slavery
is torture;
it’s like being locked up
in your own prison cell
every single day.
Some days,
I couldn’t make peace
with myself,
because I’d be held hostage
by my evil ego.
Years of being
an emotional slave
put me in “fight with me” mode;
I felt the responsibility
to defend myself
every time
someone wronged me.
I can’t stand
being held captive
anymore.
It’s giving me
excruciating headaches
and annoying ear aches.
