Unheard Cry

Living like a lie,
Only question is why,

Outside you seem fine,
But deep inside you cry.

Has it reached its peak?
Is it really hard to speak?
Of trials n tribulations that make you weak
yet happiness and comfort is all you ever seek!

You say:
No, I'm fine.
...But these entire troubles r mine
...Going through life on a very thin line.
Yet not once have you ever tried,
to release the pain and let the sorrow fly.
All you do is dine in this platter of pain and say I'm fine.

Are you really?
Are you?

Is this a normal thing?
Feels as though it’s of a supernatural being,
Praying to the angels to keep me under their wings,
After all they know all that you’re seeing.

These are the troubles many face,
And it’s time we take the painful truth as its ours to embrace.

It's strange to sit in a room and speak loud.
Assume there's someone but there's really no crowd.
Js utter words, whatever...make a sound.

Because once in a while,
Whether speaking, recording or writing in your file:

It's right and healthy!
Speak up even if no one is listening
Releases the tension and the suppressed feeling
It's a milestone through the process of healing!

Learnt this painful lesson...

Through a friend in hospital suffering serious depression!
