No Place To Go

My World

By Dawn Irene HaschalkPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

I have no where else to go. The walls close in while the room gets darker second by second, each time I blink. It feels like I am stuck in a world that does not mean to be cruel yet is so full of chaos that it does not know what other gift to give.

As the thoughts of paranoia become overwhelming, I await for an injection of zen. Everything calms and takes away the darkness to only be replaced with the colorful rays of peace. This is where I want to stay. This is where I want to dream. Unfortunately the voices from the darkest place that can be touched demand that I return to them if only for a moment.

Accepting the fate that has been so softly given to me and at the exact time realizing this is who I am. I begin to walk slowly back to the silence and cold that is my familiar. I understand that I have no where else to go. This is the world that I am forced to love and it belongs to me........
