"Morning!"

I feel like a little bit of everything.



like the summarizing shreds of a blissful tragedy,



like the last glimmering sunray,



escaping monsoon clouds and unending oceans.



like the silver drops from a mother's eye



And,



like the cobwebs of memories 



in a lost home. 



taking baby steps into an unending tunnel



preventing myself from the darkness I could see,



like a child in a factory who refuses to dream



like the visage of a destitute,



frightened by the reality of nightmares,



acquainted with the futility of dreams. 



walls painted in despondence 



graffiti done in fading shades of life



I saunter through the tunnel in fright



and quite unexpectedly,



begin to feel better than ever.



then, 



like a toddler who wakes up abruptly from sleep



by the sounds and visuals of an unfamiliar scene



I foraged ahead for nothing into what appeared like nothingness



until I heard someone's steps



the sound amplified and I could see light again



the end was near



maybe, the start



but I was shook yet again,



this time, 



by a familiar voice



I had to rise,



it was school time



and as they say,



It isn't the tunnel that is an illusion



but the light at the end of it! 



'Morning,' mom said,



and I ceased to reply.
