Panicking

Pacing

My mind racing

Problems there are too many,

For me to be facing

Things falling apart

And i don’t know where start

The times were really good

Difficult times a many we had withstood

The thought to flea

Never occured to me

And yet all i can think of now,

Is

How a disaster like this i could not forsea

“Henri!”,

Called out a distant figure,

“You must reconsider,

i know that what you are to do and i know that you really want to”

I turned around to you

“Life is short

So to what i am about to say, u must give a thought

Fought u have enough

It is time to stop acting tough”

“Look at the people around you

Leading lives not knowing

Living with fear but not showing

A fake smile covering up the pain

But nothing can ever repair,

The distrust and shame

Life is something, for which you can not prepare

So that is no reason to live in despair

At the end of the day

We are but evolved apes

In different sizes and shapes

Habitating on a rock, chasing a ball of fire

With its desire

To

lap the universe

In this goal of its, it is immersed

For There is no, impending doom

No reason for you to walk out of this room

With that equivocative expression on your face”

She said pulling me into an embrace

I felt at peace

Tears came as an emotional release

as she said

“No matter how unsettling life maybe

For i love you and you love me

You must pull through

This sunday morning gloom”

I felt to the ground and pled

Life is meaningless

But with you in it, seems endless
This is a poem I wrote for a friend who was pretty suicidal and writing this poem was an effort by me to try to  talk them out of it.
