It's a deep abyss

It's a deep abyss
You wake up one day feeling normal
As the day progresses, you start to feel tired
Irritation, exhaustion, weakness follow
Finally comes a stage of unending tears
You feel varied range of emotions
Life feels like a void
Crying for hours temporarily eases your burden
But then you feel the need of many listening ears and shoulders to cry on
One reaffirmation doesn't do
You want many close ones to make you feel wanted
To meet you and constantly talk to you

It's a deep abyss
It's a dark place
You try to cover it up with your usual positive nature
But that doesn't end
It takes days of feeling agitated, tiresome and dull
It feels like somebody's draining the energy out of you
Do you feel helpless? No
Do you feel like doing nothing? No
You want to do many things
But get tired too quickly

It's a deep abyss
You want to feel energized
You want to feel lively
You even try to smile with usual radiance
But somehow it isn't possible

You try try try to be normal
Because that's how you wanna feel
Not going to an endless abyss
But waking up to endless hope

Let us stop with all the crappy stigma around 'Mental Health'
Let us support each other in times of need
Physical injuries may just take medicines to heal
Mental illnesses need caring hearts to pick up the zeal

A caring touch, a listening ear and a shoulder to lean on
This is all we need to fight this abyss and become Bang On!
