ONE LONELY NIGHT

Nights only some people can understand

By swati ganesanPublished 3 years ago 3 min read

I sat there in the loudest noise of silence, on a cold night alone. The city was alive with the sounds of cars honking and people talking, but I felt completely isolated from it all. I was wrapped in my thoughts, lost in a sea of memories and regrets.

The chill of the night seeped into my bones, making me shiver. But even the physical discomfort was a welcome distraction from the emotional pain that threatened to consume me.

As I sat there, I thought about all the choices I had made that led me to this moment. The people I had hurt and the opportunities I had missed.

The pain was seeping through me little by little, and it felt like happiness was a foreign land that I would never be able to visit again. The tears continued to roll down my cheeks, and I no longer cared to wipe them away. The darkness of loneliness had settled deep within me, weighing heavy on my heart.

I felt lost and adrift, like a ship without a compass, unable to find my way back to the shore. I couldn't remember the last time I had truly felt happy, and the thought of it only made me feel more alone.

As I walked through the endless sea of shadows, I felt a heavy weight upon my heart. The darkness seemed to seep into my very soul, making me feel lost and alone. My thoughts were filled with misery and sadness, as I struggled to make sense of this strange world.

The confusion and madness took hold of me I am unable to get through it anymore. My mind is the ruthless judge of every action I do, washing me with every single mistake I have ever made. I stood there amidst turmoil like a tree that might fall and break at any time.

It never stopped it continued throughout the night and the day. A day when the brightest sun seemed dark and gloomy. I felt like I have no choice, no glimpse of joy could ever see in my life. Excitement is only for lucky souls, not for someone like me.

I tried to fight the chaos in my mind but it only grew with each passing day

The confusion and madness felt so blind and took me further away.

I searched for answers, I sought the truth but nothing seemed to bring me peace .The more I struggled, the more aloof my mind became a never-ending tease.

I lay in bed

Thoughts of meaning race through my head

Am I just a mere machine, programmed to be

Or is there something more, that I'm meant to see?

The world is vast and complex, beyond compare

With infinite possibilities, beyond repair

But where do I fit in, what is my role

In this cosmic dance, that takes its toll?

I search for answers, in books and art

I listen to wise men, play a smart part

But still, the questions linger, like a flame

Am I just a puppet, in an endless game?

A game that we all are put in without a choice

A game to play human

A game to be extreme emotions

A game that nobody taught us how to play

A game that is learned only by playing

A game where Being clueless is a part of the game

A game with sad realities and uncertainties

A game of unfairness but fantastic in its own way

A game that can never be completely mastered in a lifetime

Just like that, I sat near the window where the bright light passed through but I was bubbled by my darkness.
