Where You Wanted Me Poem by Za7ra Sulaiman

i'm where you wanted—down so low,
no light to warm, no room to grow.
you smiled and said, she's safe, she's fine,
then crushed my will to match your line.

you dressed my pain in quiet tones,
you called it love, you threw me bones.
you clipped my wings, you made me tame,
then turned around and praised my shame.

was this the throne you built for me?
a cage disguised as loyalty?
a gilded cell with chains that shine,
your twisted way to say 'you're mine.'

but hear me now—i'm not your toy,
not some soft doll you can destroy.
this rage you hate? it fuels my flame.
i kept it close. i learned your game.

i'll rise with scars you gave for free,
a brutal, burning symphony.
and when i go, don't act surprised,
you made this hell, then shut your eyes.

so yes—i'm here. your perfect prize.
but watch me tear the damn disguise.
