Unveiling Shadows

In the stillness of my bed, I gaze at the ceiling,
Lost in thoughts of ending it all, the pain revealing.
A torrent of emotions floods my weary soul,
Exhaustion, sadness, and loneliness take their toll.

I ponder the reasons why some choose to depart,
Not to end their lives, but to heal a wounded heart.
It's not about being a burden or running away,
But releasing burdens carried, seeking a brighter day.

In the depths of despair, understanding fades,
Yearning for someone to grasp the darkness that pervades.
Feeling misunderstood, with no solace in sight,
Lost in the pain, trapped in an endless night.

Oh, how tempting it is to surrender to the abyss,
To bid farewell to agony, find a tranquil bliss.
Yet, I cannot be selfish, my loved ones I must consider,
For their support and sacrifices, I mustn't wither.

I cannot forsake the obligations I hold dear,
Nor break the promises made to those who are near.
Though they contribute to the chaos I endure,
They're also the reason I strive to endure.

Weary of the burdens they bring, I remain steadfast,
For their belief in me, I refuse to let go and be surpassed.
Though tangled in their presence, I won't give in,
For their love and faith, my battle I'll begin.

These thoughts, mere whispers before sleep's embrace,
I find solace in knowing it's just a momentary chase.
Tomorrow brings new hope, a chance to mend,
And in this fleeting darkness, my strength will ascend.

Remember, my friend, that reaching out to loved ones, seeking professional help, and finding support networks can provide the guidance and care needed during difficult times. You are not alone, and there is always hope for a brighter tomorrow.
