Trapped in the abyss of void
consumed by darkness
walking on a tightrope
vacillant steps
the fall inevitable.
Timely intervention
oodles of patience
prodding, gentle unmasking
comforting reassurances
demystifying obscurity.
Finally, a visage of hope
monstrous mind slayed
purpose refocused
perseverance paid off
life saved.
Reena’s Exploration Challenge #144 : Breakthrough
Stressful lifestyle is one of the major factors that cause an emotional imbalance in people today, leading to many mental health challenges, depression being one of them. It is extremely important to identify this issue and provide timely intervention and counseling to such patients, in the absence of which it may lead to suicidal tendencies too.

A lifetime of echoing scratches, long have i walked by.
Grinding the grit under my feet, yet the sack half empty.
Even those maples grew so tall, but not my graph much sought about.
I crossed those murky rivers deep down to my neck…
Looking for that glittery stone which everyone talked about.
Long have i suffered the wrath of the circling hands…long have i lost my serenity.
Darning those high peaks where clouds rest in peace,
The melancholy song of the nightingale in starry nights…
Let me now make my abode in the shades of the night
Let me now live in peace that my burning heart has longed for….
Leave me now, leave my thoughts, for I have now drowned in my satire.
Leave me now…..leave me now
” AMIT BHAT”.
