There are days...
The words seem to seep from my ears..,
Emotions and pain, begging to be heard...
I promised myself I wouldn't..
Wouldn't talk, wouldn't share, hang dirty laundry, anywhere...
Navel gazing does no good, I know this... the more you focus on the problem,  the worse it hurts...
But the words seep from my ears, from my eyes, as I cry...
Overwhelmed,  long past a simple sigh...
Hidden emotions, dragging me down..

Need a way out, need a hand.. need a heart to understand. 
I'm not giving up, not giving in.
Those precious to me, keep me from the end...
But some days..Some days, I  can't help but cry...break down, curl up, I can't let go..
My heart, my treasures need me more...
Every day, every minute,
I  keep on, even when my hearts not in it.
Can't let them down.. Can't let them see..
Their hearts are so much more, than what's lacking inside of me.

..so I'll just hide.. and be the mother they see... and avoid again, despair inside..
They deserve ,more than I have, more than I can be... I'll live for them, until I can again, live for being me...#motherhood #depression

She is an outcast. She finds it easier to express what she feels in the form of writing. Whether it is poems, letters or long texts. These are poems that she writes trying to describe how it feels to live with certain mental health issues, in a world that disregards outcasts. So, these are on the darker side of the spectrum. Some poems might be distressing for some readers. I personally enjoy consuming dark content, it's kinda like a coping mechanism. I really hope none of you relate with any of these :) I'll be posting only poems here, I'll try to be as active as I can. The poems are not in any order. They are just the thoughts that pop up any time of the day. (8.11.2023) PS: Please check out 'safe space'. I need your help to make it a real safe space, readers!
