I am trying

Every day, every night is the unsung war of my fight

But am trying hoping that everything will be alright

Am not coward, am not weak, I don’t want to die

Am trying and these cuts are the proof of these wars, that I don’t wish to say goodbye

Am not suicidal,am just tired and exhausted

Am trying,it’s just the strength in me has been extracted

My mind is now the forest full of thorns, where every animal of my thought gets wild

But am trying, because even I miss the way I smiled

Mental illness is not about that it’s all in the mind

Even though after trying, the brain still gets blind

But still am trying that someday the sun, the moon and the heaven will shine upon me

The day will come when I will love myself, my friends, my family and I will no more be an amputee

I am a shooting star, wishing to impart hope from my heart even when falling and dying

Because I know, I am trying
