THE HALLWAY
In this long narrow and silent hallway, I have been pushed aside, hurt, lost, and not in control.
The walls are so loud, I hear the hallway echo my name. They scream at me, they tell me how unreachable and unrecognizable I am. The hallway is so dark and quiet, yet so noisy. I can hear my thoughts, with every step I take, I hear whispers. I could swear I heard them gossiping, judging my matter at their convenience.
I should be mad at them, right? But how do I react, how do I address the situation? It is chaos in here. I see a figure at the exit, I saw it waving at me, practically screaming but I couldn’t hear anything it was saying. The voices in the hallway are so loud that they overthrew what that figure at the entrance was saying.
Am I the only one or something is wrong with this hallway?
Skimming around the hallway, my eyes caught on with mirrors plastered on the wall, I could see so many shades of me, It showed me what I wanted to see and what I thought I would never see. In this hallway, it is safe to say that I am scared and I want to walk out of it.
I caught on to what seemed like an exit, I blindly walked into the room and was caught off guard by what I saw, I stumbled upon a beautiful well-decorated room, I could swear I had imagined already living in there. I sat down comfortably on a sofa, slowly trying to recover from the trauma I had faced out there. It seemed like heaven in here, I said to myself THIS IS A GOOD LIFE!!
I was brought back to reality when everything turned black, all the beautiful things I saw disappeared and I was left with just darkness. Is this my life? Why do I have to be in this mess all over again
I am exhausted, drained, and perplexed, it is time to beat this. I am tired of going around in circles with this hallway, I thought of a way out and the way out is to ignore all the voices, the mirrors, the criticism, the hurt and just walk away. I have decided to walk sharply with confidence, pride, and a feeling of fulfillment.
Finally walking and pushing past those voices, I can finally see the exit, and the figure I saw while struggling to come out was there waiting for me, cheering me on.
I walked out of that hallway, leaving and forgetting the darkness and I’m now in the light, I could see how much of an amazing human I am.
I have refused to let my fears, and insecurities define who I am.
The Hallway Ends Here For Me!
