trying to get found in an ocean of people

I am lost.

I don't know where to go and what to do. I am confused. I have lost my way and the people with whom I was travelling have gone far away. I run here and there to find a path to follow. I scream and shout to be rescued. But no one listens because no one is here. Its only me suffocating in this loneliness. I don't know why am I here. I don't know where thy have gone. I don't know where I'll be after few minutes. I don't know whether I am going to find someone new to help with the directions. I don't know if I could find my way myself. I don't know. I just don't know. 

I helplessly fall on my knees crushing the dried leaves below me. I could only hear the sound of my steps and my breaths. And I feel something running down my cheeks. I feel like dying in this eternal darkness. I feel my endless tears dropping from my eyes who are searching for a way. A way to get out of here. A way from where I could find my path. A way which could help me to rescue myself. And then something gets into my mind that my tears stops, my breaths become longer and I become peaceful. 

Everything seems to be stopped and still. I close my eyes and start walking. I don't know what I am doing but I think I know why I am doing this. I keep on walking and walking. And I open my eyes and a very bright light flashes upon me an I am not able to see anything. I feel someone holding my hand and pulling me towards the light. An unusual happiness what my soul feel and my mind, curious. The brightness of light starts to dim and what I see is unbelievable. I see the future me has travelled back time to tell me something. She says "you are on the right way, dear. " She tells me I don't have to waste my time finding a way because there wasn't a way. I need to make my own way with my steps for others to follow. She tells me all this is going to wash away and happiness is soon going to knock my door and I just need to be hopeful and patient. departing with a smile she disappears. And I find myself back there where I started from. 


And now I keep on walking creating my own way.
