The Alchemist of Ink

He sits in a warm, gold-washed room, dark glasses hiding his eyes—
not for style, but to shield the weight he carries inside.
His shirt hangs loose, books piled around him like tired guards,
while he tries to map the human heart and all its quiet fractures.

People call him the author of pain, not out of insult,
but because he names the storms everyone else pretends aren’t there.
He dips his pen into the darker shades of feeling—
the anxious grey, the heavy silence—
and writes the words so many have never managed to say.

For the boy who barely speaks,
for the girl who hasn’t slept in days,
for the mind that spins with worry
and the sadness buried out of sight—
he builds a small refuge made of paper and words,
a place where the weight feels lighter for a moment.

Readers find him everywhere—cities, villages, distant coasts—
turning pages just to feel less alone,
to see their shadows reflected honestly.
He reminds them that brokenness isn’t a flaw we hide,
but a thread we all share in one way or another.

Behind those dark glasses, does he cry for all he’s learned?
Does he carry the thorns so he can hand out the rose?
He spills himself into every line,
turning hurt into something strangely beautiful—
the author who takes our pain and helps us breathe again.
The “author of pain”—not because he creates it,
but because he helps us survive it.

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……………..
