I don't remember how many times I said "I'm okay"
When I was not
How many times I cried and said "I'm okay"
When I was not
How many times I smiled and said "I'm okay"
when I was not
How many times I smoked and said "I'm okay"
When i was not
How many times I missed you and said "I'm okay"
When i was not
How many times I felt terrible and it was difficult for me to breath and said "I'm okay"
When i was not
How many times I felt damaged and said "I'm okay"
When i was not
How many times I was dragged in depression and sever anxiety and said "I'm okay"
When i was not
How many times i was laying clueless on the marble floor and said "I'm okay"
When i was not
But you know what it's fine ! I'm always okay and it's okay ....

Most of the people,
See her as a happy person,
Because she laughs easily,
She smiles beautifully,
She jokes a lot,
She does crazy stuff,
But deep down,
She gets hurt easily,
Deep down shes hurt,
Her feelings are damaged,
She's fragile,
But she chooses not to show,
This part of her to the world.

You were the light at the end of the tunnel,
You were the rain that soothed me,
You were the happiness in my bad time,
You were my strength when I was weak,
You were the first snow in winters,
You were the star who shone for me in darkness,
I loved you, I loved you blindly and then,
You turned into the sound of my nails scraping the chalkboard,
You were the sound of my heartbreaks,
You were the night I spend on the cold floor scratching myself
You were the pills I take every night to sleep,
You were the wine in my glass,
You were the smoke of my cigarette,
You were the pain of my never healing wounds,
Still you were the only one I asked for in my "Prayers"

I was so sure to find you with me when I will need someone
I was so sure that you will understand without explaining
I was so sure you will know everything by looking into my eyes
I was so sure you will know the hidden pain behind my smile
But you didn't !
You didn't understood  my words
You didn't understood even after explaining
You left me when I was explaining things to you
Do you know what Hurts more ?
A stranger knew everything which was hidden in my words
A Stranger understood everything which was for you
Stranger did what you didn't !

I have so many apologies to the little girl hidden inside me
I hurt you a lot
I expected you to tolerate always
I brought more burden than you deserve
I made you cry when you wanted to laugh
I dragged you in depression when you wanted to smile
I forced you to stay strong even when you were getting weak
I was silencing your voice
You were tired and I still wanted you to do little more
I ruined you,  I ruined the little girl hidden inside me

She told her to compromise in hard times,
She told her to zip her mouth and never argue
She told her to do what he ordered
She told her to stay quite when he misbehaved
She told her not to shed tears when he raises his hand on you
She told her never complaint about anything
She told her to stay strong no matter what happens
She told her to make home comfortable for him
She did everything !
Still he raised his hand,
still he misbehaved still he abused her
Who was responsible for her life ?
Who was responsible for the blue marks on her face ?
The monster ? Or her Mother ?

Yesterday when I was sleeping, it Start raining. I went to open my window where i saw a girl standing under the rain and playing. I went out to give her umbrella. I took step in rain her voice of laughing was so beautiful and it was reminding me of my laugh as her voice was resembling with mine. I was behind her, i asked her " what are you doing here? " she replied "you don't recognise me now ? " and she turned back i was shocked to see her. I took steps to backward because it was me ! My lost soul ! It was me when I was happy, when I use to laugh on my own silly jokes, when rain was symbol of joy for me, when depression and anxiety were not in my dictionary, when little happy moments make me smile, when watching stars gives me peace, when night doesn't haunts me, when darkness doesn't scare me, when winters were my favourite season and snow fall was my favourite game, when there was no heart breaks when there was no burden of expectations, when there was no fake me, it was me pure me and my soul. I just fell down on my knees in rain, crying and crawling to touch my soul but it despaired, it was me and I couldn't bring it back. I couldn't bring myself back !!
