Tears Days run by, work keeps piling, but I can't stop crying. The weight of dreams, the burdens of the past, the failures, the unforgiving mistakes, push me deep, to the endless darkness. A glimmer of hope is all i see below, glowing dimmer the more I try to reach. All the cages i built to protect myself, grew thorns to trap me in. All my scars, once just skin, blees again, making paintings of red. My eyes, once shining with life, now carry the pain the mouth can't tell. The heart, once beating for tomorrow, now beats to keep me alive, though not for long. And if my heart stops beating tomorrow, atleast my tears will accompany me, knowing I tried, but couldn't keep up. ~Inanis Hi, this is a poem i wrote to express the feelings one feels when they feel they are falling behind in life, be it academics or just being themselves. If you feel like this too, know that you are loved and will get through it. Your presence in this world is valued and this phase will pass soon.
