Tug of War
These days I hear lot of youngsters around in depression, trying to end their life. Some couldn't live up to parent's expectations,few couldn't compete the peer pressure and other's who couldn't help come out of the depressing life that alcohol and sedatives gifts. For all those, fighting for their existence in this bad world, here is what I feel- ' Your life is unique and is beautifully carved . With each passing day, you will realize that your old depressing self has led to a 'new you' and that for this new day, you have to live my friend! '
Here is to the agony that you go through and that many like me have gone and fought back to.
I stood infront of the glass image
trying to recognize,
Am I the same soul, who someday was compassionate, lovable and wise?
It didn't took long to realize there's something that has changed,
The person I saw behind the mirrors wasn't the same.
Face lost it's shine, eyes sunked in with no traces of smile,
I cursed my life and went over the reasons that piled.
Life hasn't been fair to me
Oh yes! it never was.
She took away the best college and the best job I wanted to join,
She took away my friends who never returned when they heard I failed.
Is there a reason to live,to love and to be happy ?
My sanity answered 'No',
'Yes' my heart cried.
I still followed my wit and decided to end this mortal life,
Breathed heavily as I stood and closed my eyes,
introspecting the last thoughts in my mind.
My stubborn gray matter pictured failures, losses ,sorrows and cries ,
and my determination now knew no bounds.
Potion in my hand and I drank the first sip,
I was a step close to my immortal self.
My heart pleaded to listen and I shrugged it off and in goes another sip,
Just then a tear dropped , and it was from my bleeding heart.
I finally gave my nucleus a chance and its timer starts.
In those milliseconds of time, it showed my mother's cuddly lap, dad's proud pat, best friends' compassionate words and siblings' admire at my baseball match.
I glanced at the smiles and cheers on my first bicycle ride, marathon medals and trip to the snow.
The salty droplets continued to flow but my face now had a beautiful glow.
I dropped the drink and shattered were the pieces of glass around the white floor
reflecting ' A new Me',
My emotions were in ectasy and I smiled, cried ,laughed and shouted in joy,
My heart has finally won and brought me back to life
