Mistakes

At pen: Dimple Kundnani

Don't mistake me for my smiles.

There is a lot more that I hold inside.

depression is too hard to explain

even when i try to, i fail!

we all know smiles, we have seen tears.

but what depression brings to us, is hard to bear,

words are not enough, still i'll try to name,

it makes you feel like mornings never mattered,

and darkness is all you can inhale.

I took a knife and looked at myself.

it pained to breathe, smiles caused me stress.

the world will never see it, never understand what turned me in,

quitting is not an option they say.

i tried to believe it still.

my inner voice screamed to be free, it was too tempting you see.

years and years , i fought and no-one knew,

today i die, being a star , so they mourn.

what about others who committed suicide.

i was a human too, what was I expected to do ?

just smile and act whatever passed by?

don't judge me now,

I am no more here,

my skin turned pale , no more I breathe, no more I could take.
