poem
Fucking done
A fierce declaration of self-reclamation, refusing to surrender authenticity, freedom, or the life that is mine to live.
Behind this piece
About
This poem marks a decisive turning point.
Rather than dwelling on what has been lost or endured, it speaks from the moment when resignation gives way to resolve. Each repeated phrase becomes an act of reclaiming a different part of life: authenticity, freedom, desire, agency, purpose, and hope.
Sometimes transformation is quiet.
Sometimes it arrives with enough force that there is no gentler language for it.
Insight
This poem was written from a place of exhaustion.
Not ordinary tiredness, but the kind that comes from feeling like life circumstances and persistent patterns have been asking you to become smaller than you know yourself to be—and from a deeper, more volatile place of being entirely fed up with certain patterns, dynamics, and expectations that repeatedly diminish or exploit that sense of self.
The repetition of “Fuck…” wasn't meant to be aggressive for its own sake. It became a way of redirecting energy that had too often been turned inward. Rather than attacking myself, each repetition rejects something that no longer deserves authority over my life:
At first it is refusal.
Then boundary.
Then liberation.
Then desire.
Then celebration.
The language stays the same, but the direction of the energy transforms.
This poem is an expression of suppressed anger that has escalated to rage.
Not uncontrolled anger, but clear, lucid rage—rage at habitual abuse, at exploitation, at the ways certain dynamics are allowed to persist at the expense of selfhood. And from that anger comes something very deliberate: rebellion, proclamation, and the enforcement of self-respect.
There comes a point where healing no longer asks us to remain in the wound for the sake of understanding it.
Sometimes it simply asks us to stop abandoning ourselves. To stop accepting treatment incongruent with our worth.
And to begin living as though we are worthy of the life we have been longing for all along.
