All of us have been cracked up. All of us have a place inside us that's dark and broken.
Somedays you win, someday it wins over you.
You feel like an empty vessel, you feel being dragged to a void, you feel beaten up, you feel game's over, you feel you've lost it, you feel scared,
You tremble, you cry,
You writhe in pain,
You bite your lip to hold back the scream.
It happens.
People talk about big battles but the biggest of the raging wars are going on, beneath our skin, inside our brain.
Don't overlook it, don't run from it.
While you are crying, get up.
Prepare yourself a cup of tea.
Observe the water turning copper brown when you add tea leaves,
See the sugar particles dissolve.
Let the aroma fill in every dark corner of your body like an incense stick.
Pour your tea in a cup and while sipping the magic particles tell yourself-
"This is my battle and I'm not going to Quit. Hit me as hard as you can life but in the end I'll always win."
Tell yourself that it is just a bad phase, feel the pain, don't suppress it,
Express it, write it, say it, cry it,
Just take it out,
While sipping your tea.
Just Believe.
Just. ~Jasleen (The.Winged.Soul)
