Akshaya Sundararajan

Mind is questioning...

Heart is struggling...

Mind wants to let go...

Heart wants to hold on...

Mind feels left out...

Heart is drenched in fear and huRrt...

Mind wants to breathe to escape breathlessness...

Heart aches with unhealed wounds... Mind feels trapped...

Heart feels unloved...

Mind is thirsty for freedom...

Heart is thirsty for love...

Mind knows it will meet rejection...

Heart wants to try harder holding on to the last bit of hope...

Mind in doubt wants to be selfish...

Heart full of love is always selfless...

Mind wants to drift apart... 

Mind wants to rise from the dark...

Heart is scared to face the light...

Mind chants you are ugly...

Heart screams you are a beautiful soul...

Mind stands unkind to self...

Heart feels defeated and unloved hiding in the dark...

Heart wants to feel the feeling of being loved...

Tongue is silenced 

Self is caged.

Heart is wrenched 

Body is commanded to adjust

Silent screams of heart are unheard 

Tears are shed, dreams are shattered 

Self is rising breaking the shackles 

Body is threatened to be shamed 

Heart is threatened to be stabbed.

Self is dragged through thorns

Emotions are held back, scars bleed 

Breath is shallow 

Lonely unloved heart is trying to embrace itself.
