Help, Hope, Connect, and Spark

‘Poetry of the Hunt’ poet challenge - this is about when I tried my best to seek help due from the stigma and society.

Before I was born, I was more loved and stabled.

After I was born, the world was more complex then I thought it was— extreme bright, loud noises, and strange things.

In my childhood, I felt like I’m not really human and been divided for many reasons, living in the wrong environment, and coming from wrong time.

During the time and after school, I felt insecure to seek help. “Am I possessed by the devil?“ I asked.

After graduation, I was difficult to seek help, but went to the wrong treatment just like in my childhood.

After ten to five years, I’m still struggling like a failure and less human with no soul.

I don’t see the lightness anymore with grief, bleakness, rejection, shame, judgement, exclusion, and isolation.

‘Do they hate me?” I asked.

I am still seeking for help.

I am still searching for hope.

I am still crying for support.

I am still finding for connect.

I am still looking for a spark.

I just want my spark back!
