The 'I' Inside Us

Look into my eyes...Here hold my hand...and feel...Do not think...do not question... Just feel...Feel for once what I feel every day, every hour, every minute, every second... Feel the darkness that resides in me... Feel the hatred that runs through my veins... Feel the sudden surge of anger that tears me apart... Feel the storms brewing inside me... Feel the loneliness that rips apart my body and soul... Feel the burden of the lies I told, ready to squish me anytime, anywhere... Feel the prison I created for myself... Feel the absence of light... Feel the absence of any sign of life... Feel the absence of emotions... Feel the endless void... Feel my strength fading away, slowly, and painfully... Feel the noise of a thousand stiffled screams... Feel the flood of a thousand tears sniffed back, constantly trying to drown me... Feel the mist that hangs around... Stretch forward your arm... Concentrate... Now, carefully undo the stitches... and put it aside... Now, feel the one little ray of sunshine over there... Feel the one tiny blot of love and affection surging through my blood... Feel the drizzle of mercy that has suddenly begun... Feel the clouds slowly parting away... Feel the wall of truths I have slowly built, helping me hold the weight... Feel the nuances in my craftsmanship... Feel the prison slowly develop hairline fractures... Feel that little ray of sunshine that made its way through that tiny hole over there... Feel the tiny patch of moss on that wall... Feel the distant music that somehow made its way to me... Feel the tiny plant I clung to to prevent myself from drowning, slowly grow into a tree... Feel the little ray of hope I am blessed with ... Harshita Leela 12 A
