Suffering from depression, I often take comfort in writing. This piece manifested during one of the toughest moments in my life, when all hope seemed lost.
Oppression
We live our lives under constant oppression;
Never being able to break the constraints we put ourselves in;
Unjust and cruel, but secure nonetheless;
Nothing to gain, nothing to lose.
We live under the omnipresent tyranny of our conscience;
Trying to fit the norms set by society and government;
Untrue to ourselves we shroud our deepest thoughts;
The path in front of us is one paved by influence.
We are content, but are we happy?
Have we really made a difference?
I PROCLAIM, we not live our lives in this regimen we have come to accept;
Today is a new day, a new beginning;
We shall strive to break through these shackles and accept who we are;
Embrace humanity as our responsibility, NOT someone elses, OURS.
Only then can we truly achieve greatness;
Only then can we change the world;
Only then can we transcend happiness and reach enlightenment;
Be a candle in this world of darkness.

Even if I help only 1 person going through a tough time in their lives, I'll be content
