Coordinators Highlight
It is not easy when confronted with life threatening issues which you have no control of. It will surely be well. Still early days to give up even on life. Take a deep breath and stay in there. Clear the mind so that you can act straight. Your own thoughts can kill you. Talk to a trustful person. It will be well.

Poem in Full

A bit low,
A bit taken aback,
A bit left out,
A bit blue
 
Started, hours earlier,
Started, seeing mostly,
Started, try I did,
Started, couldn’t shake it off
 
It is well,
Is all I can repeat
Again and again,
To myself
 
Lest I sink
Back into the quagmire
The deep abyss
From whence I came
 
Difficult by the hour
Difficult by the second
Sleep deprived,
Worry a reign
 
A battle it is,
A battle for my life,
To live or to die,
To be spared the turmoil
 
My mind is heavy,
Fluxed with the thoughts,
Of sleep forever
A mental hell
 
But No!
Deep breaths,
Deep breaths,
It is well
