Broken Nerves -Saumya Tripathi

Watching through the window,

I was staring at the night.

Lying on my bed,

without blinking my eyes.

Too much to say, too much to handle

though silence was my only choice.

Tears keep flowing,

without making any noise.

I was chained by my own thoughts,

slowly falling apart.

Soul filled with suffocation,

was holding an aching heart.

Too frozen to feel,

yet a fire was burning inside.

Fighting with my demons,

I was numb all night.

I was helpless, I had no choice.

Breathing in the mess,

I was waiting for the sun to rise.
