The Unknown Voice

By Divyansh Nawaria

An unknown fire of energy burns through my soul, whispering that I had left something behind. I couldn't recover what it was. So I let it go.

Then, in the middle of the night, as I walk alone down a quiet road.

I saw someone.

Their presence felt strangely familiar. A question of trust arose in my mind. Is that...?

I couldn't move, I couldn't breathe. Suddenly, I was a rock of flesh in the middle of the breeze. The betrayals from my past refused to let me go.

I tried to espionage on my own mind searching through hidden corners for any happiness. I found none.

I was left alone

But then....

A water droplet filled with calmness touched my skin and a spark of internal happiness stirred within me.

Something woke me up from that spiral

A voice whispered again in my ear "You know what it is, but you could never tell"

With all the strength I had left I shouted

"I know who you are"She now returned but this time

I refused to listen

I was finally calm

I knew the truth, & I knew what was it

it was the hatred they gave me

it was the fear that never did let me explore

it was my failure, which was still deep down breaking me from inside

and now

I finally what I had left behind

My strength - the strength which

I had lost a long time ago
