Frozen in time

By Shreemayi lal

Darkness filling my mind,

The cold thought making my vision blind.

The door with a silent knock,

Opening to the deadly thoughts kept in stock.

Don’t know what’s next,

Oh! Why does life have to be so perplexed?

Being trapped in time,

It feels as sour as tasting a lime.

I am trying to rise, yet fall on my knees,

Oh! What am I even trying to see?

They laugh and mock,

It feels like my body is being stabbed with multiple fork!

I feel it, a sharp knife twisting in my heart,

That pain is maliciously tearing me apart.

I cannot suffer this anymore,

Just feel to not live anymore.
