A Success Journey

...a new chapter of me...

There I am...
Floating...
Above water
Not swimming
Not sinking
Maintaining the calm in my life
I'm at ease
Comfortable with my current situation
A part of me wishes that this level/stage of my life remains the same for a little longer
But life doesn't agree with me
It materialises into a giant and gives me a heavy blow
A fist aimed directly at my mind
Sinking
Drowning
You don't see my cries
No, not when I'm under water
Going deeper into the waters
Where hope is lost and light don't reach
And dark thaughts roam the realms of my mind
Water washing, rubbing, against my eyes
is a vision of a dull distasteful future ahead
I am doomed by my habits once again
My talent calling on me
Yearning for attention

Nothing
I find solace in the quiet spaces of the deep sea
Coating me with immunity
from those little things that make me feel worthless
Curing me
Liberating me
Once again, slowly flowing up onto the surface again
But this time I swim

I swim
Moving out of the community I grew up in
"What are you doing?"
One of them says
"This boy is crazy, don't I tell you everyday. Now look, he is stubbornly moving towards the territories we tell him not to
because we were also thaught that it ultimately leads to danger."
An elder says
But I don't listen
All the shame that is thrown at me fuels my will to keep on going
Alone
I keep on swimming even though the heavily currents of waves tries to stop me
Pushing through
Making a breakthrough
Step by step
I'm going to get there

Finally reaching the shores
Another struggle of mine is trying to breathe
I realise that I can cope with the pressures of the new environment I'm in
until I reach the point where I can get used to it
Moving deeper into this island
A field is presented in front of me
Going inside the field of opportunities
The sharp edges of the monocoteledenous leaves scratch my skin
But that does not stop me from accomplishing my dreams
The more I am visible
The more chances I get to become successful
All of a sudden
I sink into the grounds of the field
Absolute darkness surrounds me
What have I done?
I am doomed
Thaughts of turning back roams my head
But an urge forces me to keep going
The path I take becomes clearer with each step I take
I reach a stop

Damn
A wall blocks me from continuing my journey
Am I failing?
Disciplined yet stuck
I begin to worry as I wait
Looking for a sign to show that I am progressing
My hands glow bright
As my heart races in my chest
There is light coming from above
I lift my hands
And the portal widens
Tiny crystals
amidst the soft glow of the pinkish purplish light
rests on my face gently
As I move my hands around that space
Finding my way up
I jump
I jump
I jump
Finally grabbing a hold of an invisible object
it turns out to be a ladder as I go up
I find myself in a room with arms sticking from the ceiling
Surprised by a blessing in disguise
I reach my hand out to the ceiling
As a set of hands reaches down to me simultaneously
Attraction between the spaces of our hands
After finding the set of hands that suits me
Liberated
Lifted in the community I am meant to flourish in
