I was shiver and shaking again
Pelted by lies and deceit
It was an uncontrollable fit
My bones hurt
I was falling apart
Until finally
The sleep embraced me
Before my final collapse
Somebody had to save me right?
I woke up a stranger
A new person
A new world
A new life
A blank canvas
Of an artist
Going through a crisis
A poor helpless artist
Having an unbreakable
Artist’s block
High on despair
Then I saw myself
Or whoever it was
In the mirror
Who was it?
So different
So oblivious
Of the storm
Someone
So empty
Devoid or feelings
How could it be?
Then I saw her smiling
A faint smile
Of trust
And belief
A pained smile
Of admiration
And validation
A smile
So tired
So calm
Surprisingly peaceful
Is it my soul?
I questioned
And I saw rain
Falling from the clear blue sky
Cleaning the filth
Washing the wound
I could see
A person scarred
Beyond imagination
I could see
Layers of bruises
That were veiled
Under the sheets
Of sands of time
I saw the gentle
Thin streaks of light
Falling from skies
And I saw..
A colors
That I never saw before
A stange rainbow
And then
I saw the other side of the bridge
And I smiled back..
To this person
Smiling
Bathing
In rain light and colors
I looked up
For the last time
And started walking on the bridge..

I feel everything in this, keep writing it will help your mind and clear it. I loved this. Something I must admit, I have been through myself when I looked in the mirror, and had realizations of my “now” world.

“high on despair”–isn’t that the way it feels at times.

That’s how it feels. When you so hopeless and done with life you feel high.
I wrote an impromptu poem on a friend’s name when i was in that state

You do know Stoner, that belief is a poison if it’s invested in others and a medicine if it’s invested in yourself. I know you’re brave but as I have learned personally what matters is the surroundings. If by any chance the environment doesn’t change, scram.

It’s better to go in knowing what to expect, rather than venturing into the unknown. And it will be scary, if it’s not perceived like that, it will be a problem. Still just be yourself.

Better be taking shots Stoner. Sitting idle will take us nowhere, knowing that no understand us, is a pain in itself.

The question is why should they. Why we still expect them to give a shit? We know we’re alone, at least you and me are in that way. I’ve just given up for making people understand. The best line I heard was, the more you talk about it, the more you’re victimising yourself. So yeah staying in my own world, without caring about them.

Don’t worry Stoner. Just be yourself. You’ll get through this. They are weak, you’re not. Like you say, the shit you go through, no one else would survive. Only advice I can give you, when world is your enemy, don’t start becoming one of yourself too. Believe, but only in you.
