At times, every breath I take
Seems to leave me breathless.

Every step forward
Leads to backward.

Running towards the light,
But still not reaching it,
Leaves me despaired.

I feel like losing control of my body,
Like being a puppet
With no strings attached.

At such moments,
I see my hopes,
The responsibility,
The love I carry —
That light to my never-ending darkness.

And then my breaths
Don’t leave me breathless,
And I go on.
