Poem: Don’t lose hope

I was like you,

Hopelessly trying to make sense of my life.

Many days were an absolute misery.

I have cried myself to sleep because

I was in pain.

Pain was not just in the body.

It was in my brain.

I suffered to understand the reality.

I never got it right and

I kept on failing.

Failure is a bitter experience,

but it is a good teacher.

Failing to understand is not really a failure

failing to try is.

Don’t lose hope.

Help is around you.

Open your mind.

Let the light inside.
