What to do when you want to cry but can’t?

Even I don’t know the answer to this. All I know is that these days I just want to cry out loud, shout at every person in my life and do nothing else.

I no longer wish to study or do the things I have been working really hard on. Don’t want to talk to anyone although I have none but still don’t want to talk. Stay in a room, lying on my bed doing nothing but trying to make myself cry and vent it out but you know what? It’s easier said than done.

Maybe, feel ing all this is common. Is it?

Why don’t I have a single friend in my life whom I can call and tell everything in my life? Why am I all by myself in the lowest point of my life? Why am I always, always… left alone?

There aren’t any answers to this but I wish there were so I could just work on it with all my might and make it change. But… there ain’t any.

I wish I had a dream. Just a simple, single dream like anyone else to follow. Maybe then my life wouldn’t have been this complicated and suffocating. Maybe then I would’t have much time to pity myself at every point of my life.

I wish I were confident then maybe I wouldn’t have minded any of these things. I tried my best to confident at every point of my life but it didn’t work, you know why? Because it was all a show. I was never confident to start with so the pretend was very obvious.

I wish I had courage for saying my mind, then maybe I would’t have cried about my miserable life here in the blog. Or maybe I might have jumped out of this life long ago.

Now nothing calms me down. No music, no cloud, no scenery, no medicine, no movies, no books, no work, nothing. I am more anxious than I were before.

I wake up one day all happy, the other day I wake up all gloomy.
I wake up one day all cheery, the other day I wake up all angry.
I wake up one day all confidently, the other day I wake up all anxiously.
One day I wake with my will to live life, the other day I wake up with the will to end it dearly.

But reality is that I am someone who’s a coward, who lacks confidence, who doesn’t have a dream and has no other alternative than living my life just the way I have been living.

Nan mori-ga nomu aapha-so, nan jinjja aan-gwenchana-yo. Nan nega chugu-shipphoyo. Nan nomu silphuyo. Nan aan-gwenchana-yo. Nan nega jinjja chugu-shipphoyo. Nan khopchong sarami-aeyo.
