Umbra | Maisha Mahjabin Aritri

I walk with my shadow
When the sun leaves me
Brightness slowly fades away from my soul
As I'm approaching towards the ending .

My heart has become a broken winged bird
It can't fly anymore
Soul is covered with dark blood
Slowly calling my demons.

The moon of my sky has died today
And all the stars have lost their sparkles
I realized that it could be this much fragile
When the storm started to hit me everyday .

I'm walking, walking with my shadow
The cold night has left me alone with my wounds
All I have is darkness which is slowly grasping my fractured bones
And my broken soul is screaming hollows .

The world is silent but my eyes can't sleep
It's like I'm a prisoner in my own body
Tears get dry on my cheeks
Leaving its marks to show the sins .

I can hear the voices calling
As I can see the ending
Yes I'm right, they are happy
Cause I can see them smiling while at last I'm falling

Poet's note: I wrote this poem when I was going through a very hard time and was feeling depressed enough to think about ending my life and these words and feelings were all that was roaming around in my brain. So I just wrote this to express my feelings.
