Swimming in the pool of despair!

"broken within"

I've been walking in the dark.

I've been feeling puzzled.

I've drowned forever in my own tears.

I have tried countless times to discover my true self.

I felt like I'd lost my mind.

I felt like I was swimming in a pool of despair.

As if I've drowned deep inside the water.

A dark cloud appeared to be hovering around me.

My thoughts were gone, and I was broken within.

Only my mind was invisible.

Questions without answers.

Nonetheless, I kept the faith.

I hoped to be a better version of myself tomorrow.

    I'm sorry my dear. We all go through our dark moments. But we also reach the end of the tunnel too and see the light. There's always a brighter day. Always. Keep the faith. God is not finished with you yet. I believe that. 🙏❤️
