No one is there
No one was there
No one here to wake you up from the dreams
No one to show the way to accomplish all you want
No one to help you when you fall on the way
The journey is tedious and exhausting
Failure and loss
Are the recurring companions
No one can hear your screams
Tears over all the missed opportunities
No one notices you gave up 5 times and got back up 6
Tired eyes or worn-out fingers
Bitter resilience is applauded
But depression is overlooked
The failures you hide so well
The growth you are so eager to look away from
No one notices…
For why will anyone?
You never noticed anyone either
Did you?
The pain you feel is felt by many
Silently behind closed doors
Sunk in pillows wet with tears
Behind laughters that silent the screams inside
‘Life of the party’, hiding their broken pieces
No one is coming to help you
So get up now
Make that call
Go for that walk
Speak your truth
Judgement and failure should not be able to stop you anymore
You have gone through enough
Seen enough
Why care
For they don’t know you
Like you do
No one is there
You are your own savior
Time to silent that Voice.
