Certainty


Stand in the darkness yearning for light,
Take a few steps forward, swallowed by fright
Keep moving on with all your might
Oh what I see—is it a ray of light?

Run FAST. End this despair.
Light warming me as I get there.

One more step and I will be out,

Body freezes as my heart shouts 

“Why can’t I escape?”

I hear darkness whisper:
You call me comfort, I call it certainty.
The light may be what you want, but to darkness you cling.

Money and fame doesn't mean the person is leading a happy peaceful life. A person undergoing a psycho therapy is automatically considered as a " crazy person". This brings shame to the person suffering. Do we even realize that there must be number of people who are scared to seek help just because they are afraid of being judged by the " sane people". We are all at fault. We as a society are responsible for making these people suffer more. The mentality needs to change. Depression, anxiety, panic attacks, etc are NOT to be taken lightly. "Sleep over it. You'll feel fine in the morning" - is NOT the solution for it. Age, gender, profession, status, fame are  NOT  the parameters t...
