I woke up again, wondering,
What if what they say is right?
What if I have to fight
MYSELF?
What if I do need help?
What if I've already knelt
Down, to the darkness inside of me?
I feel it growing; emptiness;
I wake up today, fall back to bed
A few months later;
With a stone in my chest
Where there used to be a heart-
Beating, loving; breathing.
Maybe I do need help,
Maybe this mess I call myself
Is not as normal as I think to be
Maybe someday I will be free
From the darkness that has become,
MYSELF.
-Makker
The second phase most people with mental disorders tend to go through is awareness- wherein they become aware of themselves as well as what they're going through. This poem is just an attempt to depict the thought process of people with depression. Anyone finding it to be a trigger should seek help if required. Here the person becomes aware and might even want to do something about it. Please keep on spreading hope cause you never know who might need it 🙏🏼🙏🏼
