Spiraling

By Harivarshine

All my cuts were so real

And the wounds took years to heal

I was shattered and thrown into the dark

To embark on a new path without even a spark

I was knocked down, but I wasn’t fragile

And I still found a way to smile

I had reasons to fall apart

But I held on with a bleeding heart

The voices in my head were screaming aloud,

     convincing me that I’m happy

But I know I’m in a thousand pieces;

I try hard to escape the pain I feel

And the gloom that follows,

But there’s a part of me

that wouldn’t let go of sadness.
