Don't Kill Yourself

Going through a bad phase, when the thorns prick you 

When the vision gets clouded, when you can’t see the path,

When killing yourself seems the only way out

Remember, my friend, God is your charioteer

And, you’re his most trustworthy and powerful soldier!

Inexplicable maybe your grief,

But, don’t suffocate it within,

Vent it out, in any way you wish!

If you feel you lack empathetic ears

Splash them on the blank canvas,

Pen them down in the diary,

Go for a stroll in the garden,

Try out something new!

Remember, my friend, there are many doors

You can choose any, break it if it doesn’t open

But, don’t punish yourself for other’s faults.

Your life is solely your responsibility

Take charge and work your way out.

You need both the sun and the rain to grow

Stay away from toxic thoughts, medium or people

Accept your frailties for they make you human

Don’t be beguiled by false myths and notions!

Be proud of your roots and surroundings

And, never, my dear friend, hate yourself!

So, cheer up, my friend,

You’re not the only one going through hell

Douse your miseries in self-love

Also, spread your brilliance to others.

You’re the universe, you don’t need a support

You can very well thrive on your own.
