Depression

I was once there, Nobody cared, For words, I was lost Filled with tire and exhaust Living in a superficial mess Life was a game of chess I'd lost my mates, lost my queen An astonishingly dark scene That being, in my life, the most critical situation They call it depression My neck inches to the knife holding on to dear life Not anymore could I cry I wished to die That day, that moment, I saw myself as my own opponent If I had done it, everything would've been gone Everything I had ever worked for'd be forgot So many souls, so many dreams, I'm simply a speck of dust Don't ever look back, even I've felt crushed I don't have many friends, don't be taken aback Legends never come in packs, and I trust myself to have my back Now I am, the only one, shining through my window like a light ray I have come to love myself for who I was, am and hope to be one day Today I walk, smiling, ear to ear The burden of fear, I no longer have to bear Proud, I am, to know, my dream, I accomplished And didn't leave the world, with my purpose unfinished I am not born to die sad, I rewrite my destiny, again on my scratchpad Till I am happy, I try it again Write it again and again with my golden pen This pretty paradise, they forgot to capture In my life a brand new chapter Go on with your life bravely Your future waits for you to shine brightly -Jayashree Harish
