You will Forget the Bad Times

“You will forget the bad times. I know you will. So this is for you to remember the worst of it

all. The hatred and the anger and the evil you felt. Read this and remember you never want to

come back to this. You never want to become this.

The rock bottom that you feel with all the demons creeping up your leg; the uncomfortable

stones under your back, your palm and your thigh; the water that has filled up your lungs and

throat rendering you incapable of breathing. Slowly the plants start to grow and the sand
settles on your limp body and you will be forgotten because out of sight out of mind. But you

can feel a little beat of hope thumping through your chest, reverberating through your body

and you hold on to it for dear life because your universe is balancing on it and if that sliver of
hope is gone then there is nothing more and nothing else for you to live for.

You want to fight against your tears and sorrows every waking minute but give up….

Oh god give up…so that every kilo of weight that you carry can crush your bones, your
organs and most of all your heart, this freaking crime of an organ can succumb into dust.

Maybe then, just then will you be able to breathe. Hadn’t you forgotten how it felt to finally

take a breath? Maybe then the huge hole in your chest will no longer exist. How did it feel to

live without pain every second of your waking life?

Hope has many faces….

You hope tomorrow will be a better day...
You hope someday you won’t hate yourself….

You hope that you find how it felt like to be alive again...

You hope there will be a tomorrow for you...”
