Ok so within few minutes we had a competition to write a poem on some topics. I used the topic 'Waking Up' aaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnndddddd

I realized that my poem has nothing to do with the title =_= And I used some word's tense wrong or forgot to add 'ly' in some cases too.

BUT LUCKILY OUR TEACHER ALLOWED TO SUBMIT TILL 3Pm! So yeah I made the changes and I could proudly present you this!

There are times when it's hard to be who we are inside, when we are silenced when we try to speak. It becomes hard to calm the storm inside when we have been strong for way too long. Each word could shatter our heart into millions of pieces.

Each and everyone of us have a darker side, so fearsome that it scares us. Maybe, we didn't meet it yet, the darker part of us. But let me remind you it's  just a part  of you. And NOT YOU.

When we are overwhelmed, we try to sort out our feelings that were bottled up unconsciously and suddenly burst in the form of a storm, so hard to control when you're around people, who unknowingly, hurt you without realising it's impact. 

We become fake, or icy cold, or a cry baby. 

This poem is going to only touches the pain of the sudden fight that happens when we are not fine, yet still are fine. 

Sometimes we have to greet a past we don't want to face. Thinking about it is different from seeing it infront of us, happening. It's hard to fight

But then again

Life was never easy now was it? 

It's hard to reach the light

When one is falling apart

A mistake has a price

Which tears me apart

The heart couldn't speak

The tears couldn't hold

The emotions overwhelmed

Of a darkening soul

There are times

When one breaks down

They think they're weak

While their tears fall down

Small things hurt

A heart left shattered

One couldn't hold back

The words unheard

Our voice is lost

When our tears spoke for us

Our choice is gone

When we're unheard

Yet we must realize

Either to sink forever in this ocean

Or to rise above the storm

Even though we have to face the storm inside us

Silence speaks more than one could say

It comforts us in the most soothing way

While hiding one's pain in its own silent way

Drowning in the ocean of darkness 

I stared at the light

Hoping to reach out

Even though I could just fake a smile

How could one escape?

From one's darker side?

How could one be awake?

In the most painful darkest of times?

Unable to speak

Unable to be heard

While our eyes cry

And our soul hurts

Waking up from Darkness

Is like reaching out to light

While our voices echo

Inside my mind

The pain is unbearable 

It chokes me inside

The storm of emotions is overpowering

Yet I try

One couldn't let their emotions completely flow

One couldn't let their emotions get a better hold

I embraced the light as I rose

"Hello again" I said composed

My awakening from the slumber of darkness is best left unheard

For now I could smile again, breathe again

I could laugh heartily 

While darkness fade away

As I act smartly

Waking up is like a blessing

The slumber was like a painful cursing

Yet, both are important

The slumber and the Awakening 

The darkness will linger around, I know it

But the light will always stay, I feel it

They both are needed by me

I understand it

Our smiles hides the pain inside us

Our strength hides the weakness that's a part of us

Our calm hides the storm that emerges

That's the awakening from the slumber

That's 'waking up' from the slumber of Darkness.
