ALONE IN THE DARK
I’m all alone, it’s just me. There is none that is with me. I’m filled with silence despite the deafening noise that is all around me. I feel deserted despite the great crowd that surrounds me. As they turn to give me a hand, all my eye sees is a desert path; another reminder that it’s just me.
I was picking roses with my friend, when I accidentally pricked my finger, as he rushed to help me stop the bleeding. I couldn’t help but ask him,”Do you feel the pain?” He replied negative. So I said,” why bother? You would only make it worse.” My friend got offended and left me with my wounds; another reminder that it’s just me.
As I sat down with tears dripping from my eyes; a little dear came forth and started drinking from the pool of my tears. Startled at the courage this creature displayed in other to conquer its thirst, a soothing feeling came upon me. Perhaps I have found a new friend. Just when I made moves to secure a new friendship, I heard a loud noise and the little creature fell in a pool of its own blood. My heart tore in two and sorrow filled my whole being. Just then, a man dressed in fur coat, walked up and carried my little dear, I stood up to protest, when he turned and said to me,”Did you feel a thing? , so don’t even think about it. You can join me in the feast”. That was when it dawned on me. that was when the picture became clear.
You are alone in this world, nobody is accountable for the things you do or the mistake you make; you are also not accountable for anyone. So stop seeking solace where there is none.
Let everything you do be for yourself, of course others will benefit from it. You might be surrounded by thousands, command the company of tens-of-thousands, but the truth is that you are the only man standing. As you alone felt the entrance of your first breath, so shall you alone feel the departure of your last breath.
As many gathered to celebrate your birth , so shall they gather to celebrate your death as you sleep in the earth , alone in the dark
