At times, every breath I take
Seems to leave me breathless.
Every step forward
Leads to backward.
Running towards the light,
But still not reaching it,
Leaves me despaired.
I feel like losing control of my body,
Like being a puppet
With no strings attached.
At such moments,
I see my hopes,
The responsibility,
The love I carry —
That light to my never-ending darkness.
And then my breaths
Don’t leave me breathless,
And I go on.
