Trapped in torment

TRAPPED IN TORMENT

These four walls witness my pain,

In which I shut myself in,

Tears flow and I am submerged deep in my thoughts,

Even my numb heart can feel the pain within.

My heart is heavy, even my breathing echoes,

I feel the chills as my tears flow.

I shiver, I writhe in pain.

Reason for which I cry doesn’t hurt me,

But knowing that I have no one by my side hurts me the most.

I just want that person to be on my side with whom I am so close.

In this longing pain each day deeply I dive,

Writing how I feel and expressing myself has kept me alive.

I am dead inside seeking for happiness,

I have no hope,

My heart sinks into sadness.

Forgetting those memories which I ought to remember,

They are flashing in front of my eyes,

Not allowing me to sink in slumber.

I am wide awake,

Longing to feel warmth from ones care and concern,

Oh! I am so restless and miserable,

For a bit of happiness I yearn.

Never give up on hope. When you hit rock bottom the only way is up. Take it.

I am sorry to hear that you feel this way . Hope you know it will get better.

[Najam Us Saher]

Hope is the only word that I am holding onto for so long. Thank you so much for reading, it means a lot.

I can only tell you what I learned-- in a terrible way-- 47 years ago: when we turn only to ourselves, focused on our egos, our souls shrivel-- only by seeking the 'More', a Higher Power, God or Allah or Nirvana-- call it what you will-- was I able to escape hell. What we know, what we see in THIS world are mostly illusions.

I wholeheartedly agree. Life is more complicated when we try to understand it. Only when we leave it all on god we be at peace. I am just 20 and this is something life taught me at a very young age.
Thank you very much for sharing your experience.

I've never read something that so perfectly captures what it is to be lonely. But gosh, I hope you don't actually feel like this. :(

[Najam Us Saher]

I feel sad to tell you that this is true. My poems are my true emotions. Thank you very much for reading.

[Vicky]

Sad and lonely, without any hope of finding the happiness and connection you so long for. I can't tell you how many times I've felt that way. How often I still feel that way.

[Najam Us Saher]

I am not happy to say that you found it to be relatable, I wish no one feels this way. But I am happy that my words could express your emotions, thank you so much for reading.
