32/F/India A dark soul, lost in the mayhem. / / My first book of my poems on Amazon: / https://www.amazon.in/dp/B0GRBVPZHL
I look at myself in the mirror - lines of sorrow buried deep, circles of insomnia stained black, eyes that have forgotten how to smile, holding tears they can no longer contain.

The face of sorrow
Why does anxiety continue to plague me long after I've given up? Isn't that what you wanted?

Long after
I have no strength left to fight this pain. I have no words left to describe this pain. I wish life would just let go of me, because I no longer have the strength to hold on.

Let go
You're not depressed, you're just lazy. Everyone doesn't want to get up and go to work. Everyone has anxiety throughout the day. You're not special. Then tell me— does everyone not want to live? does everyone wish life would just ******* end? does everyone lie on the bathroom floor, puking from anxiety? does everyone beg on their knees for the pain to stop? does everyone hurt themselves physically to drown out the mental pain? does everyone keep a suicide plan in their back pocket? Go on. Tell me I don't have a problem.

Self sabotage
The tears have dried up and so has the blood. The darkness has won the battle.

Dried up
It is not what’s inside that keeps us alive. Not even the heart. I can tell for sure, for my heart is broken beyond repair. The darkness is keeping me alive, so it can feast on me a little while longer.

Darknesss feast
I have been rotting inside for quite a while. It doesn’t smell, nor does it show. The darkness just eats you up from the inside, until all that’s left is a body to be burnt.

Rotting inside
I have finally understood- Getting better was a mirage. Just as I got closer, it disappeared.

What harm is a little burn when the soul is dead inside?
