On Days Like These.

things I want you to remember on days like these;

 

On days like these, you will feel like you cannot make upto it.

You will feel like you will never make it.

You will feel as if the whole world is upon you.

Every single responsibility of your life will look futile.

You will struggle to be yourself.

You might find yourself in a place you thought you’ll never be.

You will stoop down to your lowest ever.

You might find yourself searching for someone whom you could talk to.

You will pick that phone to call.

To make the call of hope.

 

Oh, alas!

There’s no one. There never was anyone in the first place.

You drifted away from people, slowly,

People drifted away from you, in the most painful manner,

Conversations died, you stopped hanging out together, the bond that you had amongst you was choked to death,

Is this how long forever was supposed to be?

Forever now seems to come with a deadline.

A deadline unforeseen.

 

Fake promises, fake gestures, and fake people

To add, the sugar-coating, the aftermath kills you within

You might want to escape.

And you might even attempt to soothe that pain within,

The nights you have wept and wept, realizing your mistakes.

Darkness seems to takeover you and your entire existence.

 

Your heart holds so much,

Your heart wants to shout,

The wounds are etched so deep within.

 

With bruised arms and  knees, you try to take that one step.

But, you fall.

You want to get up again, but it aches.

 

 

It’s then you realize,

They wanted everything from you

But they never wanted you.

 

But it’s wrong to blame everything on the ones who went.

Let them go!

Let them leave you!

We all deserve more than we can ever imagine.

So get up; fellow traveler of the world. It is your time to conquer.

 

On days like these, I want you to remember that this is not the end.

You can always start fresh, you have all the capabilities.

On days like these, I want you to remember that you can still make upto it.

On days like these, I want you to remember that, hope will never leave your hand.

On days like these, I want you to remember that it is never too late to mend.

 

On days like these, I want you to remember- its okay.

On days like these, I want you to get up, again.

On days like these, I want you to remember it is not the worst day of your life.

You have seen worse. You have lived through all of it. You will live through this too, with all your grace.

So, chin up, get that Herculean strength back in you and know that YOU CAN DO ANYTHING and EVERYTHING.
