The balcony is filled with flower pots. Red roses, white lilies, and green plants are charming. She got up and came into the balcony of her house. The morning air is fresh. She sat down looking at the clear blue sky and the colorful nature. She touched the petals of the rose flower. A tear rolled down from her eyes and fell on the petal. Within no time the beautiful red flower is drenched with her sad, salty tears. Her heart became heavy. She felt like thousands of thrones pinning into her heart. She felt like she is hyperventilating but in reality, she is not. The fresh morning air couldn’t help her. After some time the tears vanished but not the heaviness and sadness in her heart. Her mind, heart and every inch of her body is filled with grief. She is a beautiful girl but at that moment her expressing eyes are red and swollen. The cheeks lost their softness. The smooth red lips are rough and pale. The manicured nails are half broken.


“What do you want for breakfast?” her mom asked. She didn’t reply. Her mother asked again. “Anything” her voice is dull and low. She got up slowly and went inside. “What happened beta didn’t you sleep well?” her mother asked looking at her face. “Nothing” she sat on the dining table. She is unable to swallow the food. She took only two bites of her breakfast and got up. “Stop dieting. You look so pale, eat your breakfast” her mother ordered. “Are you really dieting or you don’t like the breakfast” her brother teased. She didn’t hear any of their words. She took 1 more bite and went into her room.


In the afternoon everyone is watching a movie. Her parents and brother are enjoying it but she is not even looking at the T.V. she sat beside her brother but she is somewhere in her thoughts. It is a bright Sunday afternoon and she has a beautiful family who cares for her, but she is only bothered about the darkness in the mind. She couldn’t see any color. She is trying to smile but some force is pulling her back. She went into her room and stood in front of the mirror. Her image is blurred and again the tears started rolling down. She wiped them many times but her cheeks are full of tears. She lost her appetite. She lost interest in everything. Her favorite loud music is killing her. She didn’t even know why she is crying. She hates being sad but now that is the only feeling she has. She asked herself many times. “Why me? Why is this happening to me?” she couldn’t find the answer. She wanted to be free but she is chained to the darkness in her heart. She is tired of the tears and grief. She is tired of herself. She lied down on the bed.


“This is terrible,” her father said watching the headlines. It said “the biggest problem the world facing today is depression” “really this is all because of the pressure,” her mother said. They are worried about the world but what they don’t know is that their daughter in her room is suffering from it.
