Where do I go?
The sunset that I used to love
Scares me
The moonlight that I thought was most beautiful
Scares me
The dawn painted in a million hues from the rising Sun
Scares me
The Cherry blossom in an innocent pink
Scares me
The dew drops on the lush green leaf
Scares me
A smile from a friend
Scares me
A hug, a kiss, a pat or a word of affection
Scares me
I'm scared it's all a perception
I'm scared it will all vaporise and vanish like a dream
I'm scared I'll realize I was wrong
I wish I could hide, in the darkness
Hide in my mother's womb
Hide in the arms of my child
Hide someplace where pain, and deceit can never touch me
Why am I scared?
Because, me as myself lost an identity
Because, the belief in myself stands challenged
Because, I chased a mirage I thought was true
Because, my most magnificient Obsession turned
Turned to a hue I do not recognise
A hue from an innocent white to the darkest of the dark
Where do I go?

Wow. Pretty emotional.
But isn't this the moment to change the character of the individual to make it better with the lessons learnt, than brood over the lost enthusiasm?
Isn't this the perfect moment to breathe new life into those fine spirits. A new definition.
I think, experience has its merits... but the fearlessness of youth needs to be preserved... else every breath of air seems frivolous and fatal.
Wow... been a while since I responded... Need to get back to my own blog and start scribbling... Thanks for the motive!
Kiran.
Chasing a mirage and realizing it is a mirage is definitely a emotionally disturbing experience. But when reality mows down a cherished belief, then I agree with Kiran that it is an opportunity to re-calibrate our mental model..
couldn't agree more...life is all about moving on - the difficulty of letting go becomes only that much tougher depending on how much you valued what you lost in the first place!
But, yes I believe in optimism! No questions asked...
rendezvous,
I am not sure if I would side with optimism. Anyway, there is a whole lot to be said about that than we can do justice in the comments section. However, my point here is, every time a belief in a mirage is shattered, it is prudent to cautiously navigate and adopt a belief that is not another mirage as much as possible (i.e. given our current knowledge). In the doldrums of shattered beliefs, we should be vary of picking up allegience to another mirage.
I concur Unawoken - but does logic prevail when one's very core is ruptured?
No idea. But, I agree like the saying goes "Once bitten twice shy" caution needs to be excercised and will also come naturally I think.
"but does logic prevail"
logic does not prevail on it's own. In fact it is the opposite. There is a high chance that one picks a new belief that is yet ungrounded. Hence, it is important to deliberately exercize logic to avoid another costly exercise..
Unawoken, yes logic does not just fall in place by itself - true. I missed that angle. I see and accept your point - very valid
