Those Days

Those days when I woke up abruptly at 3 in the night and cried for no reason,

Those days no one could see the mental tears I shed every moment,

Those days nothing seemed wrong with me, but I remember being on the verge of breaking down completely,

Those days I didn't feel like waking up cuz I didn't have the courage to face the day, 

Those days I felt numb, no emotion overtook me just a wide-eyed expressionless face that was impossible to read,

Those days when I built a shield around myself, so tight that I started suffocating,

Those days when the world looked dark despite the brightest sunlight,

Those days when the light forgot its way into my life, 

Those days when I despised life so much that death seemed comforting at times,

Those days which then were the reason I couldn't breathe, are now the days that introduce me to my strength.

Those days I really wish I could wipe off my memory, but the very days that remind me of the warrior that still lives in me!
