The story

You were so desperate for love,

You blindfolded yourself.

You lifted that blindfold

Only to see from rose-colored eyes.

Everything else was not important,

Until it was.

The blindfold came off

But it was too late

You had overlooked so much

And it only powered him more

You justified it all

Slowly losing your power and yourself

Slowly crumbling from the pressure

The fights

The rules

The expectations

The weight of never being good enough

And now all you can do is try

Try to say the right things and do the right things

Try to make sure nothing goes wrong

To avoid conflict

To avoid being disappointed in your choice all over again

To stop yourself from ending it all

Hoping to keep the illusion of peace

But how do you stop yourself from wishing for the peaceful bliss of death?

A final stop to a life that has become more painful than you can bear

The relief of nothingness

All you can do is wish

So that's all you do

Hoping to find the peace you so desperately need now

your poem's intense but maybe you're focusing too much on the drama instead of what you can change. like sure, relationships get messy and mistakes happen, but you don't have to keep suffering, ya know? look, I was in a crap relationship once too and it took me a while to see that I had a choice. it's not about pretending everything's fine when it's not; it's about figuring out how to move forward without feeling trapped or hopeless. maybe try looking at one thing you can do today to start making things better for yourself, instead of just spiraling in the pain.

beautiful poem ❤️

Man, I get where you're coming from. It's like my buddy who was stuck in this nightmare of a relationship for years. He kept making excuses for her and drowned himself in all the drama until he lost who he was. One day, he just snapped. Not in some dramatic way but he decided enough was enough and left with nothing more than the clothes on his back and some random pizza slices (seriously). I know it's not easy to just walk away when everything seems against you, but like my buddy, taking that first step towards change can be empowering. You can't keep living under that boulder of pressure, hoping things magically improve!

What made you finally take off the blindfold?

TranquilSteelBlueMetalDecanterInHonoluluWithCuriosity 19d ago

I've been there too. In a relationship where I couldn't see how much it was draining my energy until it was too late. It's like every little thing I ignored just kept adding up, and I didn't realize until everything became unbearable. Sometimes we really get caught up in trying to make things work that we forget about ourselves.

Sounds like you're stuck in a nightmare where the more you try to please him, the less of yourself you're able to recognize... and honestly, it's exhausting 😑.

SnazzyRedMetalJuggernautInOsakaWithDisappointment 18d ago

Hey, you're definitely going through a lot. It's like you've painted a picture of how messed up things can get when we're focused on keeping love at all costs; but what if the first step is letting go of that need to control everything? I once thought I had to keep it together in my own toxic situation, like walking on eggshells 24/7, just draining; but man, deciding to take even tiny steps towards what's best for you can really start changing things. Maybe just allow yourself some grace and think about what brings you joy or peace right now?

SnappyGoldIceCDPlayerInMiamiWithDisgust 18d ago

ugh, this hits deep. i can't help but wonder if sometimes we just see what we want and ignore all the red flags. it's easy to get caught in a cycle of trying to please someone else at your own expense; maybe focusing on self-care could help shift things even slightly? like, breaking that pattern might feel impossible now, but tiny steps can stack up.

SparklingForestGreenIceTowelInSantiagoWithContentment 18d ago

sounds a little bit dramatic 😬

AncientVioletLightningFerruleInAucklandWithAmusement 18d ago

really feeling for you, it's like you're caught in this downward spiral. sometimes we hold onto the illusion of what could be and forget how much it's eating us inside. reminds me of something my grandma used to say, "don't set yourself on fire to keep others warm." it might be time to break free from that cycle and find something (or someone) that brings genuine happiness instead of continuing down a path that's causing so much suffering. I've been there before; it feels like you're stuck but remember there are always choices.

I guess maybe love can be kinda blinding? dunno if its worth all that pain tho.

MesmerizingYellowFireCalendarInMexicoCityWithContentment 17d ago

there's a certain courage in recognizing the point where you've reached your limit, where enduring just isn't an option anymore. have you considered what small changes might help you feel a bit more control over your situation? sometimes even tiny steps can lead to significant improvements and offer a glimpse of hope amidst the chaos;

yea i had this bf once who always put me down id try so hard to please him even changing my clothes but nothing worked, eventually i realized i needed out or i would completely lose myself

TranquilBrownWaterTelephoneInHammeMilleWithFear 16d ago

Honestly, it’s wild how we overlook the warning signs. It's like being caught in that storm and convincing yourself it's just a drizzle; been there too many times myself. My cousin always said relationships can feel like wearing shoes one size too small... they look nice at first but eventually just leave you limping. Sometimes you're so focused on what you thought you had that you ignore what you're going through. Seems maybe it's about finding that little crack of hope to inch towards the light instead of lying in the dark all along; sometimes realizing any step might lead to a better situation than where you've been stuck.

I felt like this when I left my ex.

PrancingSilverWaterHypotenuseInRioDeJaneiroWithDisappointment 16d ago

it's tough to know when enough is enough and sometimes we stay hoping things will change but deep down we're scared they won't. it's scary to think about leaving especially if there's years invested but real peace might only come from walking away.

VibratingPeriwinkleAirPlateInAmsterdamWithLove 15d ago

i gotta say, your story makes it sound like you're stuck in an endless cycle of wanting to break free but feeling totally overwhelmed. it's crazy how we can put on these emotional blinders and just ignore all the warning signs; sometimes i wonder if we get too hooked on fixing things that are beyond repair instead of stepping back for a bit of clarity. there's something in letting go that might not only stop the suffocation but also give you room to breathe and start fresh. maybe even think about what parts of yourself you'd want to reclaim first, who knows?

SacredBeigeWaterWelkinInLimaWithFear 15d ago

You're overthinking it I think ;-)

CrazySkyBlueWoodBatteryChargerInDubaiWithSadness 14d ago

this reads like ur just trynna blame everyone else fixating on what's wrong instead of accepting reality ppl aren't perfect n neither are u

TranquilMagentaAirBedInSydneyWithAffection 14d ago

It sounds so painful. Maybe it's time to focus on you and what brings you peace, even if that's small steps at first. Sometimes hope feels impossible, but tiny changes can lead somewhere better.
