I'M OKAY
My heart is breaking ,
and I feel nothing,
all so numb and so tired,
but I'm okay though.
Tears are threatening to fall
and I'm forcing the corner
of my lips to turn upside,
but I'm okay though.
This ache is increasing
second by second
and my mind is going on alarm,
but I'm okay though.
I feel suffocated
and my lungs are desparately trying
to take some air,
but I'm okay though.
I'm not me anymore,
lost myself ages ago,
just a breathing corpse,
but I'm okay though.
You say I look all so good,
consider my every 'fine' as 'all well',
alas! It's not the truth,
but I'm okay though.
I wish someday this 'okay'
actually means okay
as happy and alive
and not an 'okay' of survive,
but don't worry
I'm okay though.

And expect you to laugh with them.....

The blade's inviting, so enticing,
I make more lines, make more writing,
Pull down my sleeves, I keep on lying,
"I'm just cold", no I'm just dying,
I cry for help, why can't you notice?
I make more lines feel less hopeless,
Why do I feel so worthless?
Red on carpet, I can't focus,
Mind is running, thoughts are crushing,
Head is spinning, blood is gushing,
Lungs are screaming, heart is pumping,
Room is freezing, colours leaking.

Being
Being determined is my core
Striving to achieve in the face of adversity
New experiences ! Oh I'm ready to explore
Being possessed! No freedom is my call
With some flaws in this natural world
Still standing tall and that is all.
Have a long road to achieve
Coming out of my cocoon
My wings - I'm yet to receive
What if who I hope to be was always me .
Few things I wish in my life's feed
Spirit growth is something I want
Good read is all I need .
Travel as far as I can
As it gives joy to my soul
I want to live and be my own fan .
©expelliarmus9 2can I say yes now ?
19th of July I got a text!
U sound low, what happened?
All good?
To which I disheartenedly but yet promptly replied
I am fine , yes all good !
But then thought for a while ,
Why am I still awake , responding the person!
And then tried to limit the conversation ,
I just kept saying yes to everything the person asked,
Put your dp,
Okay Yes done !
Not yet sleepy?
Yes !
You're always late sleeper?
Yes !
Is anything troubling you?
Yes !
No shit ;
I shouldn't have said yes to this,
I know it's not a lie though,
But I could never explain why!
I could never tell why I felt low ..
All of a sudden at times sometimes,
Some call it depression, some anxiety, some panicking
Then person replied,
Okay , let's not talk about this now !
Tell me some other day,
I was surprised , I mean each time I tried to tell my friends someone close to me I was bullied, they keep bugging
To explain what my souls going through I can say my skin piercing,
What's it ? That I cannot see , am not able to !
Or even realise that's hurting me , oh that's it is hurting
Huh! But how could he?
How can the person not treat me the same way?
I was happy ! but frantic too
That the person , perhaps feasibly, dint care or bother
But since then,
The person started calling me beautiful ,
All things pretty, but not asking of my pain any more
I hold it once , and deferred to interrupt
" do you want to know why?"
' do you have an answer to that he asked ?' With smiling emoji
" no, but I want to find out " I sighed
' let's not talk about it again ,
Let's do things that bring joy to you !
Its always about the things you read
The people you sorruond yourself with
The vibes you get through them,
That most importantly affects your mental health'
Days passed, and talking to the perosn felt like home
A dream come true ,
But with all possible sense of reality
We laughed, cried , fought and also lied ,
Then we apologised and smiled
Everytime I felt low , the person stood there by my side,
By cracking lamest joke possible to make me laugh out louder,
And by bitching stories ,
I met the perosn one fine day,
The person took care I dint cry,
And even when I did..
The perosn comforted the very next second
By cracking lame joke again
And the perosn was right, now i dont feel the same
The things running through my mind,
Appear no longer to be seen
They are all good memories now, that I had
Yes!
I agreed , " it's always about the things you read !
The people you surround yourself with,
Their vibes they bring to you,
That affects your mental health...
But just then he asked me out,
And I fizzled ,
No t knowing what tell
My heart murmured yes!
But my brain said no dont!
You'll end up in hell again,
And the same happened,
Days later when I wanted to ask him ,
He said stay away,
And he walked out just like all the rest!
And here I am again affecting my mental health again!
Come back

A little talk or chat can be a cure to sadness. A listener can throw away the thoughts of loneliness of a person. So when your sadness cross the limits, seek help. Talk with someone who could really make you comfort. Because you mental health is equally important as your physical health.
©halcyon6 1Today i have learnt that you need to -
Hold on to the one who are always there,
You never know what tomorrow is gonna bring.
Do not waste time always by arguing, fighting and do learn to forgive,
Spend time with them and tell them what they mean to you
Because you are very much lucky enough to have them by your side❤️
After thousands of failure there will be a rise again ❤️

Dear Society,
Today we as a youth stand with our heads down and lost hope in our eyes. People here are blaming 2020 for being the sucky year it is, but no one, for once blamed you.
No one blamed you for teaching us to take our MENTAL HEALTH more seriously. We still live in an age where people don't understand the gravity of the word DEPRESSION. People still feel ashamed to talk about all the shitty things they go through on a daily basis. And finally you're to be blamed for making us feel that we need to battle our demons alone.
And to be completely honest, it's not just the society to be blamed alone. We, as a youth is to be blamed equally. Not just because we refuse to talk about our issues but also because we have become so insensitive towards things around us.
Today I have seen people posting about the death of a prestigious actor and posting a meme on the next post.
Let's all understand that no one needs a fake twenty-four hours condolence. What we need is to help each other. We need to take time out from ME to spend time in US. We need to talk to people around us and understand what they are going through in their daily lives.
We need to get the thing drilled in our heads that removing a dp on WhatsApp and posting some sad quotes doesn't denote that anyone is going through depression. Even people who put on a brave face and a smile every single day, go through alot of turmoil inside. They too battle dark thoughts with every passing moment, but they fail to express.
So today for once, let's put our lives on hold and talk to people around us and try to help them with their baggage. Because sometimes all you need, is a smile from someone you love and their supporting hand on your shoulder.

If we just realized,
we all struggle &
We open up about them,
And share our stories.
This world could be a different place.
Start by sharing your story.
You are not alone.

I wrote this poem 2 years back on one of my loneliest moment. I hope someone at least finds respite in my words, that in the end, we all are going through the same shit.

The world is buzzing around,
Sound and Sound,
Beyond the noises and empty talk,
Broken piece of conversations,
Hallow hole of discussions,
Being outside while being inside,
Being disconnected from this world,
and searching for a cell tower to connect,
Abstract and bizarre,
That's the world of mine,
always outside the loop,
a voice wants to break,
a soul wants to fly,
soar through the winds,
stay among the skies,
go away from all the lies,
To pretend to be someone else,
is to lose one's own self,
looking through the spectacles,
to the world at beyond,
watching the stories unfold,
and...
Trying to find my own soul.

The Edge
There she was
On the edge of the cliff
Wind whipping through her hair.
The sound if waves crashing.
She's surrounded by such beauty
Yet thoughts consume her
She can't enjoy the things she used too.
She wants to know who she is .
She wants to find that missing piece.
She wants answers.

This world is crumbling faster everyday.
The more we fight,
The more this world seperates.
It's ok to speak your mind and use that voice.
But use that voice for good and not evil.
Your voice matters, it can change the world.
If we decided one day to stop judging, hating, and simply just listen.
This world could have less hatred, crime and more love and peace.

Irrational emotions
These screams are silent
Like the dead of night
These tears are like a constant waterfall
These thoughts race like a cheetah hunting it's prey.
These emotions are overwhelming like being buried 6ft under.
This anger inside rages like a wild fire.
This sadness drowns me till no air is left.
This fear inside frightens me till my heart stops.
This disgust inside consumes who or what it going on.
This joy has been forgotten because that emotion was never learned.
Emotions happen up and down like soundwaves
They can't be controlled
It's a constant battle for sanity.
When will i become like everyone else.
Where possibly the only emotion I feel more than others is happiness.
I want to know what happiness is like.
These irrational emotions will destroy me.

Depression
And one night she said :-
There is a helpless night
Infront of me
Poisonous thoughts to kill
Bedsheets trying to strangle me
Dreams that could kill
Unable to talk it out
I am dealing with lot of shit
But no one is around
It seems I am dangling on
The red thread of death
Nobody to help me
And I brushed it off saying:-
You need to take a chill pill honey...
And now I have regret for my whole life

Speak up what is bothering you
Speak up what is not making you feel normal
Speak up of the stigma
It's time to raise above of keeping the mental health aside
Because mental health is as important as physical health

Mental Health Week
Accept your flaws
Be comfortable with your own skin
And no one can then break you down for those reasons
Talk about your difficulties only when will you be able to accept and be comfortable, and be able to be strong
#TalkItOut #MentalHealthIsImportant
#pod #mirakee #writerstolli @mirakee @writersnetwork @readwriteuniteAnd once she was down with the heavy weight
Of people who bullied her
Of people who misunderstood her
Of people who left her
Of people she thought were her people
Of everything that made her feel less than others
She decided to rise above in her own skin
Rise above with her flaws

Being a Psychologist, I come across patients with bipolar disorder. Just tried penning down what they go through.
#bipolar #seekhelp #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthisimportant
@writersnetwork @mirakeeworld #readwriteunite @readwriteuniteMy mind is going crazy!
Sometimes I am just too happy
Laughter and smiles come so easy
Bursting with too much energy
I get a sense I can do anything
Eradicate terrorism or even become invisible
But sometimes I feel too blue
Shut myself and weep in sorrow
Listless and easily fatigued, I can do nothing
I'm just a useless being still breathing
A hundred ways to die on my mind
Maybe I should just try doing one.
