The murky waters of life trap me in the unfathomable depths of its despair.
I clasp at the gentle, yet sturdy hands that gently ,yet firmly grasp my throat.
Slowly draining all the life and oxygen from my lungs.
Soon I start to accept my fate as I stop clasping, clawing, desperately trying to free from myself from the shackles that want to bind me to an eternity of pain and servitude.
I become complacent.
I accept the life that was thrust into my hands,
I welcome the shackles that bind me and somehow find them comforting,
I realise with great surprise that I need them to survive.
The hands that were around my neck oppressively sucking the life out of me now give me comfort, I find solitude in them.
I look at my reflection in the opaque, murky waters and smile ruefully at what I have become – a mere shadow, that’s what.
A shadow that shifts in and out of existence, that is what I have become, and I love it!
I used to find the shackles obtrusive, but now, I find them welcoming.
