Chapter 20 - accursed world system

Words have left me

I've got nothing more to say

Whenever I say I'm Hurting

They dismiss me

As if I'm playing a role

When I say I'm tired

Of all the pain and depression

They tell me it's all in my head

I never suffered

And had it easy

It's them who suffered

They call me names

Call me imbecile

Idiot, dumb, satan

And so many other hurtful

Words throughout so many years

Sometimes I defend myself

With tears in my eyes

Sometimes I just go quiet

As explaining and trying to make

Them understand only brought me

More pain...

When I open up about how empty I feel

To see my lifelong prayers crushed

And not accepted how I waited

And hoped and dreamed

They tell me God

Won't take care of me anymore

Not realising that this insecurity

I had in my own prayers

Was due to them

Always dismissing my feelings

My emotional pain

Always telling me God won't help me

Cause I am not an obedient child

I am not a perfect daughter

Always comparing me to others

Been going through this

Mental destruction and training

Since I was a kid

I'm tired of it all now

I mean it when I say I'm hurting

I mean it when I say I'm breaking down

I mean it when I say I'm dying inside

But they look at me as if I'm

A disgusting liar

And dismiss all my feelings

They don't see my pain

They don't care if I'm physically tired

And exhausted

I have to execute their every command

Even if it's making breathing for me

Harder and harder

They called me emotionally weak

And attention seeker

When they suddenly saw me

Having a panic attack

At that time

When I needed someone the most

They never gave me any emotional support

Whenever I ask for it

I'm making them mentally tired

I should be strong and give them

The emotional support they need

I should give them courage

As it's my role as the eldest daughter

But no one cares to give me

Emotional support

They say they fed me, clothed me,

Gave me education and so many things

And I don't do anything for them

I am baffled at how ungrateful they are

And how blind they can be

Making me question my own reality

And if everything I do is worth nothing

If my feelings are even real

Living in doubt with myself

Insecure because of their twisted words

Those to whom I told a bit of my pain

Who confessed their feelings for me

Told me they wouldn't leave me

Left me in the end

I don't believe in love

It's a beautiful lie

A twisted and beautiful poison

A curse where the one who's heart

Is true and pure gets

Torn apart mercilessly

Toyed with and dismissed

Taken for granted and destroyed

This accursed world isn't for

People with soft, pure hearts

It's for the twisted and two faced

Who act and pretend

Live lies and bend the truth

To their advantage

Everyone won't hesitate

To choose themselves first

To victimise themselves

To use each other

And seek their own advantages

And gains

They believe their lies

Their own words

They don't want to look at things

On deeper levels

Because of fear that their illusions

Would be destroyed

They fear suddenly regretting

Having to apologise and accept

That they made mistakes

And they were wrong

That is what most humans are like

Subconsciously

But once you see everything on

A deeper level

You wouldn't be able to unsee

You look at the world differently

Idiots go by the book

By what everyone believes is right

Being chickens that obediently

Lay golden eggs for society

Dismissing others' pain as fictional

While victimising themselves

Only caring about their own pain

And the pain of the ones they love

If my family really loved me

As they say

They wouldn't have dismissed my need

For emotional support

Since childhood

Or is it a common belief that

Eldest daughters don't feel any pain

And aren't supposed to get

Emotional support ?

I keep forgiving endlessly

Afterall they're my family

They've been through a lot

Emotionally, physically and mentally

I understand their words and behaviours

They need to vent their frustrations

On someone

And eldest daughters happen to be

Perfect for that role

When I open up to a few friends

About what I go through

And my pain

They read all my conversations

And make me feel guilty for seeking help

I was going crazy and

Always questioned my own feelings

They tell me my feelings ate wrong

I don't know what pain and sadness is

That I don't know what love and emotions

Are, that my heart is dirty

I needed someone to tell me

I'm not mad

I needed someone to tell me my feelings matter and that God hasn't forsaken me

That he sees my pain

And cares about me

It's hard to believe all that

When my nervous system

Was built and trained

To think that I am always wrong

And that God won't help me

Since early childhood

It's hard to re wire my brain

And heal

They don't even realise

The consequences of their hurtful words

And actions

And always blame me

Over and over again

Telling me I'm a liar

For telling a few people I trust

About how I feel and what I'm going through and asking for help

Making me constantly guilty

Leaving me questioning whatever

I feel... The pain being so much

That it gets physically painful

Breathing becomes harder

And heavier by each

Passing day

It's exhausting

I just wait for the angel of death now

I just want to die now

They say that people will think

I'm a burden

And I'm dumb when I open

Up to them and dismiss me

They made me scared

Of having friends

And being true and honest to them

So I shut down completely for a while

For fear I will be judged

I cut off ties with many

Whom they disapproved of

I was isolated for too long

Didn't talk to anyone

All alone

Became an actress

Actes happy and fine during the day

To gain my family's acknowledgement

And cried myself to sleep every night

They said and thought

I became more humane

When I was isolated

And when my phone was confiscated

I dived in books

To escape reality

I went numb and couldn't feel a thing

I just went with the flow

And surrendered myself to them

Cause they always say

That I'm a failure

And unsuccessful because

Of how disobedient I am

How rebellious I am

And because their hearts hurt

Because of me

But my heart constantly hurting because of them never really mattered

Yes I see other people move forward

In life while I stay at the same spot

Or regress backwards

All that made me really believe

That maybe God has forsaken me

And maybe my pain and feelings

Are wrong and doesn't matter

They say my brother is so successful

Because he's always sacrificed himself

For them while I always watched him

Get the emotional support

I never got

All the while they say they treat us the same but I have seen the differences

Loud and clear and when I

Point ir Out they say I'm not

Seeing well and I'm a liar

Who likes to play victim

And who's jealous

But never once was I jealous

Of my brother

I love him with all my heart

And enjoy cooking

And baking what he likes

Just an elder sister

With the heart of a mother

Bo matter who hurts me

Or how much, when they need

Emotional support

I give to them without a second thought

As I know what it feels like

To not have any

And don't wish to see anyone

Going through that lonely path

Full of thorns and pain

Knowing full well

How destructive that path is

But who will save me

And make me feel safe?

Who sees my pain and cares?

No one sees my good deeds

And only point out my mistakes

And praise others for their good deeds

I don't need to be praised Infront

Of people and criticised and dismissed

Privately, that's such hypocrisy

I don't sugar coat what I did wrong

And I don't praise myself either

Learnt to be overly humble

And silent all while destroying myself

By Replaying the hurtful words

Thrown at me to dismiss me

And actually believing them

Subconsciously

I'm tired of being used

While being so bruised

Don't think that I don't know

And I don't see when someone

Is trying to use me

I see it all but dismiss it all

Hoping that my kindness

Will one day touch their hearts

And they will reciprocate my honesty

And sincerity in full

But that's just a pipe dream

Always being painted as the villain

Now I'll pose for you to paint

I'll become a villainess

Though it's hard for me to

I shall become a monster

But I know that's just not me

But to protect myself

I have to swallow what's killing me

And try this thing called life again

All while not being able to unsee

The dark twisted reality of this world

I know my family love me and care

For me in their own ways

And as the eldest daughter

It's my role to swallow

My own pain and give them

Emotional support instead

I understand the pain they've been

Through, I saw it with my own eyes

The darkness of their pain

But I wish someone would understand me

Would see me for who I am

With all my flaws

And my traumas

And see how broken I really am

And still accept me and love me

For it all and give me the emotional

Support I always needed

But in this cruel world

Honesty, sincerity, humility,

Humbleness, kindness, softness,

True feminity, human emotions,

Love, consistency, responsibility

Towards one another,

Vulnerability and more

Are taken for granted

And as weaknesses

That's how accursed and brainwashed

We all became thanks to

The system the clowns

Of governments put in place
