Breaking Free

I love the calm I feel when you rest,
But your weight is crushing, and your grip so tight,
I’m suffocating under your endless fight.

You whisper worries, of all that could go wrong,
And I’m trapped in your web, where fear dwells,
And I’m drowning in my own tears,
In this dark anxious space.

But i’m done with the darkness, pain and the strain,
I’ll break free from your grasp,
Stepping into the light you’ve tried to shield away from me,
Where Peace and calm unfold.

Farewell my dearest,
But I’ll not be held captive night and day no more,
Your whispers will get to me no more,
As well as your taunts and might.
I’ll shine with a light, that’ll overcome your darkest of nights.
I love you to death my dear anxiety,
But I can’t spend the rest of my life in this darkness,
So I’m done.

Depression, Anxiety and Loneliness: Our Darkest Demons.

Have you ever been surrounded by people who loves you so much but yet you still feel so lonely. It’s true that you can feel the most alone in crowds of people, who is surrounding you is more important than how many. Yes, but you can still be with a few circle who mean the world to you, loves you and shows you care that has no limit but still yet you feel so lonely like you ain’t got no one. The thing about loneliness, depression, anxiety is that once it’s in you it hardly ever leaves. Once you feel you’re depressed or lonely it’s normal instinct for you to get close to people you love, people who loves you a lot and it’s the time you start to wear the biggest smile. For a second you might feel it’s working, you might think intimacy really is the solution to it all. But when the time comes, and these demons of ours comes back at us, it breaks us so bad and then we realize it never was the solution. It’s funny how the people who we see with the biggest smiles on their faces are the ones battling with the darkest of demons. What then is the true solution to depressions, anxiety and loneliness? Some opt in to talking to God, some addiction to drugs, alcohols, some therapy and many more. So back to the question, what then is the cure?
Seeing the smile I put on people’s faces, seeing people battling with these demons read my works and then feel a little happy, feel that someone out there truly understands how they feel, seeing someone drops an honest comment of how a piece of mine helped him battle his demons, those are the ways I battle with these demons, but it’s a never ending battle for these demons never truly die. We just have to keep standing strong, wearing the biggest smiles we can, and keep doing whatever is working for us, for we all have different ways of fighting this demons, as long as these ways doesn’t add to our hurt. Suicide should never be an option for suicide doesn’t take away your pains, instead it passes your pains to your loved ones. Keep fighting and never give up……………..
