in falling down ashes,

these tiny bits of pockets,
Life, falling droplets,
Instants of coherence, some connections,
Continuing to move ahead,
A friend, lost that day

Stories, stories lived through, once seen through someone else’s eyes, some true, might not be true, but a perspective which needs to be shared! Trigger Warning - death

This one kind of describes a state when being conflicted with few thoughts, newer ones. And trying to hide all the context from people who care, and all might cost for us to be lost, but if we could at all focus on as I prefer to call them - a few known, we might escape into normalcy again. Talking it all out and seeking help is the way ahead most of the time!
