Chapter 10 - “Transition in Three Movements”

Walking into a room full of humans trying to figure

selves out, trying to find whomever capable of help

in their struggles.

Pace of steps is not rushed, as I take the surroundings in, pressure building up, as I struggle to make it

to the corner of the room.

They seek for words, gestures, something – for my

being to be able to answer them somehow. Can I?

Eyes darting from point to point. Trying to figure

something out, the trouble, the answers, eager to

find… To find…

In the room full of humans, I'm standing with my

darting eyes. Trying to find a snippet of answer

to my questions, struggles, problems – in their

movements, in their words, in their gestures…

Dragged by hand, somehow, somewhere. Pulled

into madness.

Day after day it's spinning out and swirling madly.

Have lost track of when it began, or when it should

end. Where does it end? Who should I cry for help?

The failures, being used, abused, trashed, abandoned… Being the one to use, trash and abandon…

Why does it still sting each time?

Crying in bed, silently pleading for the rescue of

some force or someone… Just please, please, please…

I want it to end…

Heart beat in the ears, blasts that make you cry from

pain, heart squeezing with suffering. I must numb,

numb, numb…

Trying to forget… Forget… Forget…

Colder, much colder became my attitude and my

heart. Making fog, as I breathe out the air from my

lungs. I walk past busy streets.

Can you feel me?

Walking into a room full of people trying to figure

themselves out, trying to find out whomever…

With an eased pace I make way to that person in

the corner.

"Do you feel like swirling in adventure?" – I whisper

into the ear, but the person is too preoccupied with

all around to notice me. Eyes darting from place to

place, seeking for answers.

"I'll show you hell…" – I let out, as I pull my choice

along into pit of darkness.

Being the guide to the madness – the shades in the

alleys and pit of hardness. Seeing that "choice" cry

and plead.

Maybe that's what I need?

I've let go. It walked out the door a long time ago.

Not needing to see horrors anymore.

What have I done?

Walking into a room full of people. Dead silence,

as I no longer see their eyes, nor feel them there.

Suddenly it became empty.

Silence eats the space, as my heartbeat thumps in

my ears. Was there always the sound of my heart?

I close my eyes, as it doesn't matter. Breathing out

what smoke filled my lungs.

Smell of loneliness and power, then whiff of trust.

Followed by bitter sadness, fail, despair and madness.

Thump of heart.

Now the whiff of warm affection tingles senses –

there, beside, I saw my reflection. Thinking to self

– "It's perfection.", as I keep staring in those green

eyes.

I walk into a room that resembles a collection – of

all that's to behold, to transition, make confession.

With small warmth in my heart, as I walk past the

madness, I enjoy bitter sadness and smile towards

my luck.

It was lips, then the eyes, then I was struck. Moments

later – eyeing my luck. Heart was pounding mad, as

heart misplaced – getting face red, I thought that I

fled, but ended up next to you.

What do I do?

No longer there's voice in my shout and dropped

was leftover doubt. I felt that heavy load crushed

and I'm no longer hushed.

New coat pulled my shoulders down and stature

of new had come out. If that will be burdensome

somewhere, then I'll keep my all daring pride.

I'll walk into room full of people and once again see

eager eyes. This time though I'll walk through to

next door, holding head, breathing pride, with no

doubt.

Door's heavy and hard to the push, but opens with

fine force of glory. I still feel my heart rushing pulse

and life isn't finished with story.

I walk through the door to new people. With

certainty beaming in eyes. The warmth could make

anyone feeble, but they'll never jump at the sight.

No longer they're there in the corners, but rather

all over the place. It feels like their mingling with

others and sharing their blessed all grace.

I'm finally out of the shadows, but sure enough that's

not the end. But knowing there's also the others –

is filling the heart with good fate.

Eventually home with some silence. And it's dark

inside of the room. Your hands wrapped around, just

reminds us – that you're really wonderful sound.
