i.
From the east, I rose towards the sky
What time is it? It's nightwatch time!
From behind the clouds is where I lie
I gazed down on the mortals
As they sleep soundly and feel comfy.

But...

Amidst the deafening silence of the night,
I heard uncontrollable sobs yet no one's on sight.
Someone's cowering in the corner of a room!
I took a peek and then,
I saw you, covered in gloom.

You are like the stars
You shine bright in the dark
Because of those luminous scars,
You glimmer even from afar.

I wonder if like the stars
Will you also lose your bright light?
Turn into a black hole with fading sparks
******* up all your might to fight?

Will you...?

Will you still be like the stars?

Now that she gave up
the fight against
the demons inside her head;
please, don't be
mad
sad
frustrated
disappointed;
don't put the blame on her
saying she could've asked for help;
she did but it fell on deaf ears;
she tried to ward off the demons
whispering to her every night;
she tried to deviate
from the dark thoughts in her mind;
she tried to keep
the blade away from her wrist;
she tried to keep
her sanity in her grip;
she did and tried,
all by herself;
she tried and tried
until she succeeded... not.

She did.
She tried.
And she lost the fight.
But she finally found the peace
that has long evaded her sight.

Let those pearls of sadness
cascade down your cheeks,
let them fall freely
into the rich, untouched soil.
For those shall water
the seed of hope beneath
until it blossom into a seedling
called
Life.
