Inner Workings Of A Secluded Mind




Mustafa Fahim

A2C1


As I lay there, in the corner, the darkness surrounds me, engulfing me in itself, trying to fill the gaping hole left inside of me. As much as I despise this melancholy, ironically it has been my closest companion in the most dreadful hours, my only ray of hope in the gloomiest of times and my single mode of peace for the inner sanctions of my destructive mind.

At first everything was perfect and I thought nothing can ruin this, but alas the atrocious wheel of fate turned and obliterated my life. I get numb just thinking about that moment, the sheer horror in my heart reached new levels when I heard the dreaded news. It was as if the sky suddenly decided to fall down on me. And the worst part of it, the society and that despicable plastic smile one has to put on in front of it, when in reality the person is unfathomably shattered inside. This forced hypocrisy is the most sadistic part of all.

Solitude is my only companion now, it has always been there to make me feel human again, but now not even desolation is comforting my tarnished feelings. There is no hope for me now. What have I done to deserve this?



"Lights go out and I can't be saved,
tides that I tried to swim against,
you've put me down on my knees, 
oh I beg, I beg and plead,
come out of things unsaid, shoot an apple off my head." - Clocks - Coldplay

An interesting analysis. Double-standards in society are indeed becoming a norm. Reminds me of something Sigmund Freud said: “He does not believe that does not live according to his belief.”
If we could, if we only just could live that way. If only.
