27/F/India When life gets difficult, words come to rescue.
I want to write a Haiku.⁣ But I don't know how.⁣ Maybe I'll try one every day⁣ And finally figure it out

Writing Haiku
What’s the point? To struggle for the unknown To suffer uncertainty What’s the point? To believe in a bright future While living in the dark present What’s the point? To have people who care Who only offer sympathetic stares What’s the point? To lose a bit of you everyday Trying to build a fuller you for tomorrow What’s the point? To try and keep everyone happy While feeling miserable inside What’s the point? To anything...

Point
The abyss gets darker The screams get louder The pain intensifies The confusion deepens The situation worsens The solutions stay blurry I wasn’t trained for this war Yet I’m fighting it My opponent comes with ammunition While I stand unprepared Scared Lost Confused Powerless With all these shortcomings I still fight The idea of giving up brings peace But I know the act of it won't I'm getting lost in the spiral Relying on hope to pull me out

Abyss
Strange is the power of fear It engulfs you and your reasoning Strange is the power of loneliness It finds rescue in words Strange is the power of heartbreak It finds strength in emptiness Being complete is probably bad for your art To connect, you have to be broken Life is funny that way

Life Is Funny
Today, I woke up to the idea of death Such a peaceful thought The kind of freedom that one fights for And still don’t achieve. My mind was convinced, but my body refused Strange connection, this. The mind demands something and the body denies Yet they reside together harmoniously. I looked out the window at the clear sky And unwillingly got out of bed Busying myself in the chores of the day Avoiding the thoughts of death. I know not the road I am on I have no destination in mind This route is unfamiliar to me and This loneliness makes all of this seem worthless In moments like these, I look for peace A way to end this misery After all, we all will die eventually

Death
It’ll either be right, or it’ll be wrong There is only one way to know. And if you’re worried that this could be a mistake, Then let’s make it the best ******* mistake of our lives.

A Mistake
There is a feeling inside my heart that’s hard to explain A hole, an empty void Whose presence I feel strongly Having nothing can hurt deeply It’s a feeling that ****** And doesn't stop pricking Where will you run? To failure, guilt, and hurt? The emptiness will follow like a shadow Sometimes you'll use words to let it all out Other times everything will go numb But the feeling of emptiness stays Silently screaming Asking to be filled You ask how It says figure out The cycle is exhausting So you quietly close your eyes Hoping to escape from it all for a while After all tomorrow is another day And the sun might shine

Emptiness
Don't talk about your sadness, They'll say you're an annoyance. Don't talk about how terrified you are, They'll say you're frustrating. Don't talk about your struggles, They'll tell you all about their triumphs. Don't talk about what you're going through, They won't understand. Don't tell anyone anything. Simply cause it's pointless. Struggles of the dead are valued more than those who are alive. Nobody wants to sit with you and hear your sad story. They want you to toughen up and get over it. And that's not what you want to hear. So don't say anything to anyone.

Don't Say
Need plumbing? Call a plumber. Need an apartment? Call a broker. Need career help? Call a consultant. Need love? The number you’re trying to call does not exist.

Need Love
I'm tired of people telling me to stay patient and get through it. I'm tired of people asking me what is wrong with me. I'm tired of people asking me what is it that I want. I'm tired of people asking me how am I doing. I'm tired of waking up. I'm tired of surviving. I'm tired. The difference between you and me is my nightmares begin when I wake up. My mind is fighting to end this suffering and my body is pushing to get through one more day. I know I'm suppose to do a lot of things. I know I'm suppose to write daily. I know I'm suppose to read daily. I know I'm suppose to be social. I know I'm suppose to smile. I know I'm suppose to be patient. I know it all but I can't do it. I can't. Why don't people understand that I just can't! That I'm terrified of every living moment. That I have panic and anxiety attacks. And trying to get through those attacks while maintaining a decent demeanour consumes all my energy. To be alone in this fight is difficult. To die a bit every day is painful. I can't tell you what is wrong with me. I DON'T KNOW what is wrong with me! I cry all day, everyday. The screams inside me are deafening but my tears are silent. I see the confidence with which you tell me I'm overreacting. It saddens me that you can't see what I'm going through. Things are not good and I don't have the sight to see them get better any time soon... All I see is darkness. All I want to do is sleep until it gets better. My mind and body are at war with me and, this time, I think I'll just let them win.
