I'm not okay

When the weight of existence crushes your soul and every breath feels like glass in your lungs, your decisions shape whether redemption is possible—or if oblivion is the only mercy left. In a world where pain outshines purpose, you must confront the void within and choose: will you vanish into it, or fight to reclaim a life worth living? The line between survival and surrender has never been thinner.

I'm not okay

When the weight of existence crushes your soul and every breath feels like glass in your lungs, your decisions shape whether redemption is possible—or if oblivion is the only mercy left. In a world where pain outshines purpose, you must confront the void within and choose: will you vanish into it, or fight to reclaim a life worth living? The line between survival and surrender has never been thinner.

I stand on the ledge, wind biting through my jacket like regret. Below, the city pulses—indifferent, alive, moving on without me. My phone buzzes for the tenth time tonight. Same message: 'Are you okay?' From someone who still cares. I don’t know how to answer. Because the truth is, I’m not okay. I haven’t been for years. And part of me wonders if stepping forward isn’t failure—but freedom.

My legs tremble, not from fear, but from exhaustion. Not of the body, but of the soul. I think about the pills in my pocket. The quiet room waiting back home. The relief of no more choices.

But then—a sound. Faint. A melody. Someone singing down in the alley. Off-key. Persistent. Alive. And suddenly, I’m faced with it: do I end this now… or do I turn around and see who’s singing in the dark?
