and that is where we all fail.

We need it
It was raining that night.
Sky didn’t have stars
but my eyes were bright
for they had been seeking something.
It was after a long battle,
not of swords but of emotions.
While the face didn’t show, Heart was rattled
and the ability to stand was under erosion.
But then it happened unexpectedly,
I got what I was searching for.
For a while time stopped happily,
It was a hug that I had longed for.
Could you just?
Did you know?
No, I know you did not.
Did it show?
Yes, but no one took a note.
What now?
Sorry, You already forgot.
How?
That’s what we were taught.
First learn to see, listen, empathize & care. Rest will follow.

Title: Panic Attacks
Do not take a panic attack lightly, it happens to the best of us and it can be detrimental. Take all the time you need and ask a friend to help you through it. Yes, talk to someone like a friend or a therapist or a family member. Don’t worry, we love you and want you to be alright.
Trust me, I know.
My voice has gone mute,
My hands are shaking.
There are tears in my eyes,
Panic is undertaking.
I can barely stand,
I can barely breathe,
Can you please hold my hand?
My pain is very deep.
Sight is failing me,
Memories are ailing me,
My strength is leaving me,
Oh god! I am barely me.
I am crying but there is no sound,
As if I am being drowned,
I don’t need words or anything profound,
Just hug me tightly and let silence be around.
Pressing issues #1
Over the next few weeks I’ll be writing on issues I think needs to be addressed. The series will be called Pressing Issues.
Topic #1
Taking someone’s misery as a Joke.
It’s hypocritical of us and our laughter.
When we feel pain we want the World’s ear
But when it’s time to lend the same, we say
“Chill dude, don’t bother or care”.
Congratulations, you have just added to the pain,
How much will it cost to just bear?
If someone opens up, be sane,
Handle other’s misery with care.
~ Your little time can help them for a while.
