Explanation: This poem, an intruding and emotional piece, expresses certain feelings while going through stress, depression, mental breakdown, etc. This breaks the barrier between the harsh emotions, which are today hidden in many young minds, and inspires the need for emotional help and a better environment!

Poem

"Sometimes your head can be a place that you would hate to be in,

It measures,

It measures every single grief you met,

It measures every word they said,

It measures every tear of yours,

That have drowned you in your own haggard pool,

In these feelings,

This darkness,

The existence,

Your existence,

Is it that hard to exist,

Is it that hard to be yourself,

Or,

Because,

Me was a burden,

A burden that was a pain to smile at,

A burden that I carried on my face so that they could make their day,

A burden that could just feel,

Never talk,

Never share,

Never live,

But the truth,

Hides,

I never thought of existence and I will never.”
