The sea of people swarming
seem oblivious to my feelings
which swell, inundating my soul.
The tussle continues unabated
my thoughts scream yet,
the deaf ears do not heed
each one, engrossed in their bubble.
My mind plays diabolic games,
I wallow in guilt and self pity.
The unsaid words are imprisoned
within the walls of despondency
refusing to let the ray of light enter
before spiraling into an emotional abyss.
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.
