From
a dark corner of your house
With
your hands tied up behind your back
And
your eyes covered with a thick woolen cloth-
Your
lips have dried up. No saliva, but tears
that
have already stained the black cloth
And
covers a hollow face that is unable to utter words-
Silent
letters
Echoless
They
used to communicate the truth-
Scared,
you fear your own shadow-
Know
yourself is the key to true happiness they say
The
key to unlock the truth
Maybe
the truth is an untold dream-
perhaps
you need to reveal it to a stranger,
a
stranger who sits alone in a corner
scared
of his own shadow
that
moves with the flickering
of
the half-melted lit candle of obscurity.
You
fear the shadows
Multiple
ones
Floating
in a room of a shattered reality
And
a misunderstood insanity.
Covered
by heating wool
In
this blinding pool
You
wish to admire the sunrise that cannot be seen
Your
eyes are sealed shut
No
eyesight no vision
No
air no taste of breath
Breathe
less, keep air inside, breathe from nose
Stay
alive
Is
it a cowardice act?
Live
and let live they say
But
how to in this darkness?
No
body no soul no life
You
try to escape
Directionless
You
cannot see
You
cannot taste
You
can smell
the
cloth that itches your nose
itches
your breath, it tingles-
Sweat
drops slowly and deep
It
drowns you into unwanted darkness
Are
you held off by some force?
Believe
in signs they say and you will be free
Free
from captivity
Still
chained down to darkness
A
voice rises, an audible sign
Calling
in calling out
Loose
ropes, no ropes
Unsure
if you are ready to be free
What
is causing this hindrance?
Uncertainty?
Darkness
does not bother you.
You
know darkness
You
do not know freedom
You
cannot see, still blind, you cannot see
You
try to talk
No
more silent letters
Utter
sound, mouth gets moving
mouth
unbound
a
sound never heard before
agonizing
yet free
painful
yet uplifting
“Fuck,
Fuck, Fuck!”
Fear
leaps over
Your
face flushes with vitality
Your
free hands
carefully
remove the shades off
Open
your eyes!
Do
not be afraid!
Is
this your reality now?
Is
this the no-shadow reality?
Speak
your mind.
Free
your mind.
Speak
out!
