I am Not Your Punching Bag
I Am Not Your Punching Bag is a refusal song.
It was written from the moment when someone recognizes they are being used as a dumping ground for other people’s anger, stress, or unresolved pain — and decides to step out of that role.
Aligned with Nothing Is Required of You, this song does not ask the listener to calm down, forgive, or understand. It offers sound as witness to a boundary being set — firmly, without escalation, and without apology.
This piece names a truth many people carry quietly: that being strong, patient, or compassionate does not mean accepting harm. Emotional unloading, verbal aggression, and displaced frustration are not forms of connection — they are violations of safety.
I Am Not Your Punching Bag does not argue or explain. It does not seek validation. It simply withdraws consent to be the place where damage lands.
You are not required to relate.
You are not required to respond.
You are not required to stay.
The boundary stands regardless.
This song exists for anyone who has learned that stepping away is not weakness — it is self-respect.
