I hear screams in the night, and I wake up –
It wasn’t a dream, so I crawl
To the light strip that comes from the kitchen;
I’m afraid, but I have to go on.
I don’t want to see but I am staring,
And it is hurting my soul like a knife,
Piercing through me, and I am forever
Feeling nothing, forever, I’m gone.
If it weren’t a sin, would I stand up?
And raise my hand higher than sun
To bruise you, and cut you, and make you
Feel the guilt for the things that you’ve done.
I am broken, but I am burning,
I will find an alternative way.
It is not my burden to carry,
Time is ruthless, you’ll feel it one day.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate your words π
Well written with an apt description of the emotions. Liked the ” it is not my burden ” part specially .. Letting go of such emotions is very difficult yet is the cornerstone of moving ahead with our lives. Kudos
I am beyond grateful for your words. I agree. To live fully one has to let go of negativity.
Most of the times such situations serve as a test of our resolve to be who we actually are or to react to them. The situations, like tests, will be temporary but the changes they bring forth in us will not be. Hope I made sense π
I hear what you’re saying π Ultimately, after darkness always comes light
Aye π
“Iβm afraid, but I have to go on.
I donβt want to see but I am staring,
And it is hurting my soul like a knife,”
