Burdens

C an't you see she's struggling?
H ow can you not see the pain?
A ll these lies, fake alibis,
L oop ropes around her brain.
L iving is a burden,
E ven she can't cope.
N o-one willing to lend a hand?
G uide her through an unknow land?
E ventually the world seems to harshen,
S ometimes even the strongest can lose hope.

Lacklustre

#acrostic. *a chance I've misunderstood the word. More and more I lose all hope. Each morning it's harder to rise. Light seems so dull and ever so bleak. An emptiness I hold inside.

Showers

The rain, the storms, the showers... They last for hours and hours I lay in the dark In fear of my thoughts You see it's from them that I cower The rain, the storm, the showers...

The Fear

The walled garden and the empty overgrown lake. Your eyes flutter as you gently drift awake. The owl and the cockerel call to the moon. Fear not dear one sleep will find you again soon.

Living became a struggle. Breathing hurt. What if I'm too messed up to remember how to breathe. What if no amount of medicines, therapists, hope can save me.

Depression

Agony rips me up As tears scald and blind Depression looms overhead A shadow on my mind I've never had such doubts before Or felt so sad, so low With every step I sink deeper With every step comes...

Colors

Sometimes, during certain moments, I feel so strong. At other times, I'm instantly overcome by such a deep sadness...Something I don't understand but that lives deep within me.

Challenging burden @Platypus

This is excellent hun. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ but, the word is 'challenges' so if you can squeeze a line starting with 'S' on the end, it'll be perfect... ๐Ÿ‘โค

Very well written! That can't have been easy. ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ‘โค

@leelee101 ah, ok, will do.

@Platypus if you can't make it work with an 'S' then don't do it hun. It's still a great piece without it. ๐Ÿ‘โค๐Ÿ˜˜

@leelee101 I did it, but I don't know if it's as good.

@Platypus well done. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘โค

@leelee101 thanks
