Loneliness
Who knows what lies at the end? For I have lived a thousand lives within my mind.
I’m walking through a mindless and forgotten place. Its darkness goes on and on to the deep end of the room, where my eyes cannot reach but imagine the horrible things hidden there. While I’m walking, sounds of redemption echoes throughout my steps; maybe I’m alone after all. I reach the end. There’s a door here. One step further. And I walk.
The lights go on; it’s a mirror, not a door, and the only thing I capture is myself. You can go now, come on. Here, you’re safe. You’re not a bad person. It’s fi-… the mirror’s gone, now there’s a tunnel… at least it looks like one. I’m alone again. My surroundings start to scare me, with all the voices screaming gibberish and whispering hatred. Loneliness is kind of there, looking for me. May I walk through it or stay here, waiting for the lights again?
Who knows what lies at the end? For I have lived a thousand lives within my mind. Tiredness is not that exhaustive, I am. And therefore, I should stop complaining. If there are people in here, they’re just speechless, judging with their poor eyes. And yet, the tunnel is still here.
Alone, but never forgotten. Thus, I walk through it.
