I Die

When I let others take me for granted

I die,

When I don’t raise my voice in fear

I die,

When I became too fragile to break at one point

I die,

When I hide my wish in name of sacrifice

I die,

When I let other’s dream replace mine

I die,

When I don’t show I am hurt until very depressed

I die,

When I am convinced pain is life

I die,

When I hide my pain beside smile

I die,

I die not by him or her or them,

I die slowly day by day by myself,

Yes , I am committing suicide by doing all this!
