To the ones who hide their pain behind the words

There are some days

when you want to disappear forever

when you find yourself scooting to the farthest part of the room

drowned in embarrassment-

when you want the whole world to know how you feel

but the voice is nothing but a mere squeak

can you feel the emotions roiling inside you?

Every heartbreak becomes a poem, and every bad incident, your muse

you've romanticized your pain over the years to such an extent

that you can't feel this pain anymore

You've grown to love yourself

and this absurd feeling.

You may seem coward to the rest,

but trust me,

when you write your horrors,

you don't escape them,

you relive them

which makes you stronger than anyone.

There are some days

when you feel so low

that you literally have to write these words

only to remind yourself

of your own strength

to tell yourself, that no matter how rough life could be,

you will sail pass through the storm

to the other side of the shore

far away from all these noises and the bustling

on a land which doesn't claim you its own.
