try by slybee22

The dream begins in a place of nothingness, a circle of light shines from above, the circle is surrounded by darkness ,I cannot see out side the circle this is strange because the light should carry much farther I reach out but I have no hands, I try to move but I have no feet.
From the nothingness came forth a shackled soul.
Now looking into those eyes the truth of its life and its struggles are revealed to me as if I where living it’s every moment I try to speak but I have no lips, still I try to reach out and make a connection.

So many have tried to change you because you where not good enough for them.
The truth is they could only see what they wanted you to be and that was not what you where. You where so eager to please, so willingly listened to all they had to say, taking it all to heart and followed so earnestly but all the way you where loosing the true beauty that came with being you. Finally realizing the truth you pull away and although they pull back fight for control.

Do not reach out to them now for never will they reach back to save you from your fall, they will smile and look away thinking “you have only yourself to blame” One by one, one and all they turn away and leave you to hit the ground .

Remember their faces as they fade from your life.
Remember seeing them as they truly were, all self-confined to their little boxes thinking of themselves as rather clever little foxes.
Remembers how they almost convinced you to close your self off (as they did) form the true complexity of the world.
Remember thinking there must be more to life that than this. Remember noticing that they never seem to be truly content and that when they would speak of themselves as happy there eyes would tell you the truth.

You know what needs to be done, then you may wash your hands of them thou hand washing will not be enough, for as the deeds are concluded they shall stain not only the hands but also the soul, in you attempt to escape them you become have more like them. They taught you well and you’ve shown them just how much you learned. But now you can never return to the way you once where.

It has been some time and your body waste away as your mind falls into what I can only describe as quick sand pulling your soul into the fires eternal.
A heat so intense it hails delirium.
In an instant of hope you think “If only It where possible to leave this place even if leaving means I must burn away.

I whisper but you can leave and for a second It was as it my words where heard, so I said
“Come, I will help you if you try to help yourself, It will not be easy but try”

From the eternal fires directly into a bed of Ice it freezes to the core.

“Just Breath, Think of the good for it is through positive thought that your salvation shall be gained; no do not lose your soul to disparity be stronger you will do this. Remember the glass is not half empty or half full, it is always entirely full” “but with what?
I’m so tired can’t I just rest here in this icy bed.
Yes...
Rest...”
“You do only what you choose too I said.
Finally you have awakened”
Where you went I could not follow , what matters now is that you made your way back not what you had to do in order to return here.
“Why am I incased in this icy prison?”
“That has built up in your time away from this your temporary vessel.
It may seem next to impossible (the chances of getting out) still try.
If not failure will be achieved and you will die, you do not have much time death come to return you to your eternity.”
“I don’t care, let it have me if it can get me out of here”
“When you are spending your eternity burning endlessly at least you’ll know why, so dear not to try. Tell me does the pain ever subside or go away.”

“No never it grows more painful with every second but the physical pain is surpassed by the pain of knowing that it if for an eternity this pain is to remain”
Soon after the words faded away the pounding began, the ground began to shake the Ice cracked and began to fall away.
” The pain it shakes my soul and from my flesh tears of blood are cry.”

“The odds have allied against you but try.
You can be more so I try.
It seems next to impossible (the chances of getting out) still try.
If failure is achieved you will die.
If death gets to you you’ll know why, but at least you dared to try.”

“As a child growing up I was sure that my life was given to me for a reason, I was given a different perspective so I had my own view of the world, and I had so many dreams of how I was meant to better to world”

The pounding came faster harder until freedom was gained.

“Arise to the cruel world and smile and give thanks because to day you have another chance to be; today is another chance to live life. Choose to be yourself, choose to live your life”

The odds have allied against you but try.
It is within you to be and do thing good and life can be great if you only try.
When it seems next to impossible (the chances of getting out) still try.
Remember that failure is achieved as is greatness so dear to try.

Now in the place of nothingness the soul now unshackled it, the darkness that once surrounded the light becomes its shadow. My eyes open to see my mother arranging flowers by my side, I feel so weak but I know I am alive as I reach out to her I say “this is a second chance for me to change the world”
